INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human VEGF-C concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.
Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is a homodimeric ligand of VEGF R3/Flt-4 and is synthesized with N- and C-terminal propeptides. Fully processed VEGF-C containing only the VEGF homology domain can additionally bind and activate VEGF R2/KDR/Flk-1. VEGF-C interactions with VEGF R3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Both the ligand and receptor are usually co-expressed at sites of lymphatic vessel sprouting, in the embryo, and in various pathological conditions. Over-expression of VEGF-C in tumor cells induces tumoral lymphatic hyperplasia, neoangiogenesis, and vessel sprouting, resulting in enhanced lymph flow and metastasis to regional lymph nodes.
