| Description | Recombinant human soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 (sVEGFR-1) is the naturally occurring form and was cloned from total RNA of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The recombinant mature sVEGFR-1 is a glycosylated monomeric protein with a mass of approximately 96 kDa. The soluble receptor precursor protein consists of the first 6 extracellular domains (Met1-His688) containing the unique 31 amino acids residues at the C-terminus. Endothelial cells express three different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, belonging to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are named VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), and VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). Their expression is almost exclusively restricted to endothelial cells, but VEGFR-1 can also be found on monocytes, dendritic cells and on trophoblast cells. The flt-1 gene was first described in 1990. The receptor contains seven immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains, a single transmembrane region and an intracellular split tyrosine kinase domain. Compared to VEGFR-2 the Flt-1 receptor has a higher affinity for VEGF but a weaker signaling activity. VEGFR-1 thus leads not to proliferation of endothelial cells, but mediates signals for differentiation. Interestingly, a naturally occurring soluble variant of VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) was found in HUVEC supernatants in 1996, which is generated by alternative splicing of the flt-1 mRNA. The biological functions of sVEGFR-1 still are not clear, but it seems to be an endogenous regulator of angiogenesis, binding VEGF with the same affinity as the full-length receptor. |

SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant human soluble VEGFR-1 produced in insect cells. Sample was loaded in 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel under reducing condition and visualized with Silver stain.
FLT-1 Sandwich-ELISA using recombinant human soluble FLT-1 as standard. Mouse anti-human FLT-1 #EWI (Cat# 101-M30) was used as capture antibody, Biotin conjugated rabbit anti-human FLT-1 (Cat#102-PABi20) was used for detection.
Inhibition of the VEGF165-induced proliferation in HUVECs by soluble VEGFR-1/Flt-1. VEGF165 (10ng/ml) was preincubated with increasing amounts of sVEGFR-1/Flt-1 for 1h and then added to the cells.
