VEGFR2 (KDR), Avi-Tag, His-Tag, Biotin-Labeled Recombinant
Recombinant human VEFGR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2), also known as kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), encompassing amino acids 20-764 corresponding to the extracellular domain of the receptor. This construct contains a C-terminal Avi-Tag™ followed by an His-tag (6xHis). This protein was affinity purified.
≥90%
Aqueous buffer solution.
8 mM phosphate, pH 7.4, 110 mM NaCl, 2.2 mM KCl, and 20% glycerol
This protein is enzymatically biotinylated using Avi-Tag™ technology. Biotinylation is confirmed to be ≥90%.

The interaction between VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and its receptor VEGFR is an important mediator of angiogenesis as well as endothelial cell survival and proliferation. VEGFR2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a major role in cellular responses driven by VEGF. Targeting the kinase activity of VEGFR2 has been an attractive tool in cancer therapy based on its anti-angiogenesis effects. In addition to the kinase inhibitors, humanized monoclonal antibodies interfering with VEGF/VEGFR2 interaction have been developed as anti-cancer treatments.
