Synthetic peptide corresponding to 20aa of human FLT4, C-terminal, Cytoplasmic domain (KLH).
Embryonic vascular system undergoes a series of complex, highly regulated series of events involving differentiation, migration and association of primitive endothelial cells. This process is termed vasculogenesis. A further remodeling of the primitive vascular system forms the mature cardiovascular system. This process is known as angiogenesis (sprouting of new capillary vessels from pre-existing vasculature). Study of tumor angiogenesis has led to the identification of several proteins including basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor. VEGF acts by interacting with a family of largely endothelial-specific receptor tyrosine kinases that includes VEGFR-1 (flt-1/flk-2), VEGFR-2 (flk- 1/KDR), and VEGFR-3/Flt-4. Disruption of VEGFRs interferes with differentiation of endothelial cells and it is lethal for the embryo. FLT-4 (mouse 1363aa and human 1298aa), a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, is a receptor for VEGF-C. Mouse FLT-4 protein topology: 1-24aa signal peptide, 25-1363 mature protein (25-775 EC domain, 776-797aa TM domain, 798-1363aa CP domain). FLT-4 is type 1 membrane protein. It is expressed in adult lung, and liver, and in fetal liver, brain, intestine, and placenta. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, ELISA. Other applications not tested.
