The unconjugated antibody will detect native human VEGFR-3/FLT-4 in ELISA experiments.
Characteristics
Chromosomal location: 5q35.3 The antibody was produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified recombinant human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 3 (rh VEGFR-3/FLT-4) extracellular domain. VEGFR-3/FLT-4 mediates the angiogenic activity of VEGF-C and VEGF-D on lymphatic endothelial cells.
Purification
The IgG1 fraction of the hybridoma supernatant was purified by Protein G affinity chromatography and then biotinylated using a standard protocol. VEGFR-3/FLT-4, belongs to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Background
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3, FLT4, PCL, LMPH1A, VEGFR3, fms-related tyrosine kinase 4,The recombinant mature sVEGFR-3/FLT-4 is a glycosylated monomeric protein. The sVEGFR-3/FLT-4 monomers have a mass of approximately 120 kDa. The soluble receptor protein consists of all 7 extracellular domains (Met1-Glu774). All three VEGF receptors belong to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) characterised by the seven immunoglobulin-like loops in the extracellular domain. The expression of VEGFR-1 to -3 is almost exclusively restricted to hematopoietic precursor cells, vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells and to the monocyte/macrophage lineage. They play key roles in vasculogenesis, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. The FLT-4 cDNA encodes a 1298 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 23 aa residue signal peptide. Mature VEGFR-3/FLT-4 is composed of a 751 aa residue extracellular domain, a 22 aa transmembrane domain and a 482aa residue cytoplasmic domain. Both VEGF family members VEGF-C and VEGF-D have been shown to bind and activate VEGFR-3/FLT-4. The Flt-4 gene is widely expressed in the early embryo but becomes restricted to the lymphatic endothelial a latter stages of development. It is important for lymphangiogenesis.
