Rat Vascular endothelial growth factor D (Figf) ELISA Kit

A sandwich-format colorimetric ELISA from Assay Genie designed for the quantitative detection of rat Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor D (VEGF-D). The kit is intended for research use only and accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

According to the manufacturer's specifications, the assay has a detection range of 15.6-1000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 7.93pg/mL. Specificity is reported for natural and recombinant rat Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor D. Intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity and recovery data are supplied with the kit.

VEGF-D (also referred to as c-Fos-induced growth factor or FIGF) is a secreted non-covalent, antiparallel homodimer involved in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, where it binds and activates VEGFR-3 (Flt4) (UniProt O35251). The protein has a reported molecular weight of 37,113 Da and is implicated in wound healing, tumour growth and the formation and maintenance of lymphatic vasculature.
