Recombinant mouse EGF is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 53 amino acids, including 3 intra-molecular disulfide-bonds, with a molecular weight of 6 kDa. Purity is typically greater than 97% and endotoxin level less than 1 EU/ug.
The expected biological activity (ED50) is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse BALB/c 3T3 cells and is typically less than 0.1 ng/mL. The specific activity of this protein is 1x10^7 units/mg.
Reconstitute using sterile water at 0.1 mg/mL and centrifuge prior to opening vial. Gently pipet solution down the sides of the vial. DO NOT VORTEX sample. Store reconstituted material at -20ºC and add 0.1% BSA for additional stability.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) was originally isolated from tumor cells and is produced by a wide variety of cell types. In addition to stimulating vascular growth and vascular permeability, VEGF-A may play a role in stimulating vasodilation via nitric oxide-dependent pathways. Mouse VEGF-A has several variants, one being VEGF-120. Rat and bovine VEGF are one amino acid shorter than the human factor, and the bovine and human sequences show a homology of 95%.
