VEGFR2 (Phospho-Tyr951)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The VEGFR2 Phospho-Tyr951 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for studying the activation status of VEGFR2 signaling pathway in cell-based assays. This kit allows for the quantitative detection of phosphorylated VEGFR2 at Tyr951 in cell lysates, providing valuable insights into the regulation of angiogenesis and vascular development.VEGFR2, also known as KDR, is a key receptor involved in mediating the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, which is essential for angiogenesis and blood vessel formation. Phosphorylation of Tyr951 on VEGFR2 is a critical event in the activation of downstream signaling cascades, ultimately leading to enhanced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and survival.

By utilizing the VEGFR2 Phospho-Tyr951 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit, researchers can easily quantify the levels of phosphorylated VEGFR2 in their experimental samples, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and vascular biology. This kit offers high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, ensuring accurate and reliable results for a wide range of research applications in the fields of cancer biology, cardiovascular diseases, and regenerative medicine.

The VEGFR2 (Phospho-Tyr951) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect VEGFR2 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated VEGFR2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on VEGFR2 phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of VEGFR2 (Phospho-Tyr951) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, VEGFR2 (Phospho-Tyr951) is captured by VEGFR2 (Phospho-Tyr951)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

Disease: Hemangioma, Capillary Infantile

NCBI Summary:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major growth factor for endothelial cells. This gene encodes one of the two receptors of the VEGF. This receptor, known as kinase insert domain receptor, is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase. It functions as the main mediator of VEGF-induced endothelial proliferation, survival, migration, tubular morphogenesis and sprouting. The signalling and trafficking of this receptor are regulated by multiple factors, including Rab GTPase, P2Y purine nucleotide receptor, integrin alphaVbeta3, T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase, etc.. Mutations of this gene are implicated in infantile capillary hemangiomas. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
