Product details:
pan-HMR VEGFC ELISA Kit ab315050 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure pan-HMR VEGFC in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 4.375 pg/mL.
How the assay works
pan-HMR VEGFC SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

VEGFC also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C is a member of the VEGF family involved in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. VEGFC is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the heart lung and muscle. It acts primarily through its interaction with the VEGFR-3 receptor stimulating the formation of blood and lymphatic vessels. This protein plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Biological function summary
VEGFC contributes to the regulation of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cell functions. It is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but exerts its functions through interactions with receptors such as VEGFR-3. By promoting cell proliferation and migration VEGFC assists in the repair and regeneration of tissues. Its role in fluid balance is essential as it helps maintain tissue equilibrium and immune function.
Pathways
VEGFC is integral to the VEGF signaling and lymphatic vessel development pathways. Within these processes VEGFC works alongside other proteins such as VEGFA and VEGFB to modulate vascular permeability and vessel formation. The interaction between VEGFC and the VEGFR-3 receptor specifically mediates lymphatic endothelial cell activation and function linking it to vital physiological processes like inflammation and tissue repair.
VEGFC is associated with cancer and lymphedema. Its role in promoting angiogenesis is critical in tumor growth and metastasis with its overexpression often linked to cancer progression. Furthermore insufficient VEGFC activity contributes to the development of lymphedema due to inadequate lymphatic drainage. In cancer pathology VEGFC works together with VEGFR-3 contributing to the abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels which in turn facilitates cancer cell dissemination.
