Mouse VEGF-B ELISA Kit

Natural and recombinant mouse VEGF-B. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Protein function: Growth factor for endothelial cells. VEGF-B167 binds heparin and neuropilin-1 whereas the binding to neuropilin-1 of VEGF-B186 is regulated by proteolysis. VEGF-B seems to be required for normal heart function in adult but is not required for proper development of the cardiovascular system either during development or for angiogenesis in adults.
