Background

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), also known as FLT-4, together with the other two members VEGFR1 (FLT-1) and VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1) are receptors for vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) and belong to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) . The VEGFR3 protein is expressed mainly on lymphatic vessels but it is also up-regulated in tumor angiogenesis. Mutations in VEGFR3 have been identified in patients with primary lymphoedema. The VEGF-C/VEGF-D/VEGFR3 signaling pathway may provide a target for antilymphangiogenic therapy in prostate cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and so on.

Bioactivity

1. Immobilized recombinant human VEGFR3 at 5 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human VEGF-D at a linear range of 62. 5-2000 ng/ml. 2. Immobilized recombinant human VEGF-C at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human VEGFR3 at a linear range of 0.64-80 ng/ml. 3. Scatchard analysis showed the affinity constant (Kd) of recombinant human VEGF-C bound to recombinant human VEGFR3 was 1. 4 nM.
