Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key signaling protein that regulates angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature. This growth factor binds to specific receptors on endothelial cells, promoting their proliferation, migration, and survival—processes that are essential in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. VEGFA plays important roles in embryonic development, wound healing, and tissue repair. Its dysregulation is implicated in various diseases including cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and cardiovascular disorders. Research into VEGFA signaling pathways has provided valuable insights into therapeutic targets for anti-angiogenic treatments.
The Pig Vascular Endothelial cell Growth Factor VEGF ELISA KIT (CSB-E12053p) is designed for quantitative measurement of VEGFA in Sus scrofa samples. This sandwich ELISA works with serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates with a detection range of 4.69 pg/mL to 300 pg/mL and sensitivity of 1.17 pg/mL. The assay requires 50-100 μL sample volume and can be completed within 1-5 hours, with detection performed at 450 nm wavelength.
