• Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg mL. Stock solutions should be apportio
• Storage This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 ˚C, but should be kept at -20 ˚C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 ˚C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 ˚C to -70 ˚C. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is a sub-family of growth factors produced by cells, which stimulates vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. VEGF's normal function is to create new blood vessels during embryonic development, new blood vessels after injury, muscle following exercise, and new vessels (collateral circulation) to bypass blocked vessels. Humans express alternately spliced isoforms of 121, 145, 165, 183, 189, and 206 amino acids (a.a.) in length. VEGF production can be induced in cells that are not receiving enough oxygen. VEGF165 appears to be the most abundant and potent isoform, followed by VEGF121 and VEGF189. Recombinant human VEGF165 contains 165 amino acids residues and it is a disulfide-linked homodimer. In addition, it shares 88 % a.a. with corresponding regions of mouse and rat, 96 % with porcine, 95 % with canine, and 93 % with feline, equine and bovine VEGF, respectively
