VEGF-D, human recombinant

VEGF-D is member of the family of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins, which stimulate vasculogenesis and angiogenesis to restore oxygen supply to tissues. Human VEGF-D Recombinant Protein is purified vascular endothelial growth factor D produced in yeast. Protein function: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and also has effects on the permeability of blood vessels. May function in the formation of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems during embryogenesis, and also in the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium in adults. Binds and activates VEGFR-2 (KDR/FLK1) and VEGFR-3 (FLT4) receptors. [The UniProt Consortium]
