FLK1 Antibody / VEGFR2 Polyclonal Antibody recognizes vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, a receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates many of the biological effects of VEGF. The receptor is encoded by KDR in humans and is commonly known as VEGFR2 or CD309. Flk1 is the historical designation widely used for the corresponding mouse receptor and remains common terminology in developmental and vascular biology literature.
VEGFR2 is a single-pass transmembrane protein with an extracellular ligand-binding region and an intracellular split tyrosine kinase domain. Binding of VEGF promotes receptor dimerization and activation of its kinase activity, resulting in phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine residues. These sites recruit signaling proteins that connect VEGFR2 activation with pathways controlling endothelial cell behavior.
VEGFR2 signaling regulates endothelial cell proliferation, migration, survival and vascular permeability. Important downstream mechanisms include phospholipase C gamma and MAPK/ERK signaling together with PI3K/AKT and other regulatory pathways. These responses make VEGFR2 a central mediator of blood vessel formation and remodeling during development and in adult tissues.
The VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling axis is also important in pathological angiogenesis. Increased VEGF activity can promote formation of tumor-associated vasculature, while abnormal receptor signaling contributes to disorders involving vascular growth and permeability. VEGFR2 is consequently an important research target in cancer biology, angiogenesis and development of therapies designed to alter vascular signaling.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this FLK1 Antibody for research into VEGFR2 expression, VEGF signaling and vascular biology. Although FLK1 is most closely associated with the mouse receptor nomenclature, the term has a long history in the VEGFR2 literature. The VEGFR2 Polyclonal Antibody terminology provides the broadly recognized receptor designation across contemporary research.
An FLK1 Antibody provides a polyclonal reagent for investigating VEGFR2 biology using this established historical nomenclature, while a VEGFR2 Polyclonal Antibody supports research into angiogenesis, endothelial signaling and VEGF-dependent pathways.
For another antibody targeting the same receptor, see our VEGFR2 Antibody / KDR Polyclonal Antibody.
Titration of the FLK1 Antibody / VEGFR2 Polyclonal Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 1326-1356 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this VEGFR2 / FLK1 antibody.
Aliquot the VEGFR2 / FLK1 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
