Cat. No.	Z100145
Name	Recombinant Human EG-VEGF (PROK1)
Description	This factor is identical to prokineticin-1 and is a member of the AVIT protein family. Expression of human EG-VEGF messenger RNA is restricted to the steroidogenic glands, ovary, testis, adrenal and placenta and is often complementary to the expression of VEGF. EG-VEGF has been identified as a mitogen specific for the endothelium of steroidogenic glands. EG-VEGF resembles VEGF in that it causes extensive angiogenesis and cyst formation when delivered in the ovary. EG-VEGF differs from VEGF in that it does not promote angiogenesis in the cornea or skeletal muscle. Two receptors have been characterized and are expressed in gastrointestinal organs, endocrine glands and other tissues. The G-protein-coupled receptors ZAQ and I5E both function as the EG-VEGF receptor.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
