Human EG-VEGF protein (active)

9

Endothelial gland-derived VEGF (EG-VEGF) is an angiogenic protein that is structurally unrelated to VEGF. It is expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as adrenal gland, ovary, testis, and placenta. Like VEGF it can induce fenestrae in endothelial cells. To test the effect of EG-VEGF on cell proliferation of ECV-304 endothelium cell line, cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 5000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of EG-VEGF. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 microl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then measure the absorbance at 450nm using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37C.

The protein encoded by this gene induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration (the formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. It has little or no effect on a variety of other endothelial and non-endothelial cell types. Its expression is restricted to the steroidogenic glands (ovary, testis, adrenal, and placenta), is induced by hypoxia, and often complementary to the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting that these molecules function in a coordinated manner.
