ANTI-HUMAN VEGFR-3 (9D9F9) COLORWHEEL« DYE-READY MAB

General description

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (UniProt: P35916; also known as EC:2.7.10.1, VEGFR-3, Fms-like tyrosine kinase 4, FLT-4, Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor FLT4) is encoded by the FLT4 (also known as VEGFR3) gene (Gene ID: 2324) in human. VEGFR-3 (FLT-4) is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-24), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 25-775), a transmembrane domain (aa 776-796), and cytoplasmic domain (aa 797-1363). It is expressed in endothelial cells and is also detected in fetal spleen, lung, and brain. In adults, it is detected in liver, muscle, thymus, placenta, lung, testis, ovary, prostate, heart, and kidney. VEGFR-3 has tyrosine-protein kinase activity and acts as a receptor for VEGFC and VEGFD. It plays a role in adult lymphangiogenesis and in the development of the vascular network and the cardiovascular system during embryonic development. Its secreted form functions as a decoy receptor for VEGFC and/or VEGFD and play an important role as a negative regulator of VEGFC-mediated lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis. The major function of VEGFR-3 is to promote proliferation, survival, and migration of endothelial cells, and regulate angiogenic sprouting. It undergoes trans auto-phosphorylation on tyrosine residues upon ligand binding. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 1068 is required for autophosphorylation at additional tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 1063 and 1337 are important for interaction with Crk adaptor proteins and subsequent activation of MAPK8. In addition, its phosphorylation at tyrosine 1230, 1231, and 1337 are reported to be important for interaction with Grb2 and subsequent activation of the AKT1 and ERK1/ERK2 signaling pathways. This ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready monoclonal antibody was developed using our Cat. No.MAB3757-I; Anti-VEGF Receptor-3 Antibody, clone 9D9F9. (Ref.: Zhang, L., et al. (2010). Cell Res. 20(12); 1319-1331; Hamrah, P., et al. (2004). Exp. Eye Res. 79(4); 553-561).

Physical form

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

Reconstitution

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL PBS. Protect from light.
