Description
VEGF Receptor 2 Polyclonal Antibody. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a family of closely related growth factors having a conserved pattern of eight cysteine residues and sharing common VEGF receptors. VEGF Receptor 1 and VEGF Receptor 2 are both expressed in an endothelial cell-specific manner. They are detectable in virtually all tissues in adults and embryos. Monocytes express VEGF Receptor 1 and VEGF Receptor 2. VEGF Receptor 2 is involved in commitment of endothelial-cell lineages and to cell proliferation, while VEGF Receptor 1 seems to be responsible for guiding endothelial cells into the proper spatial organization of the lumen-containing vessels. VEGF Receptor 2 binds VEGF with high affinity but does not bind PIGF.
