- Overview
  - Soluble FLT1 Human Recombinant fused with the Fc part of human IgG1 produced in baculovirus is disulfide-linked homodimeric, glycosylated, polypeptide containing 751 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 130 kDa. The soluble receptor protein contains only the first 7 extracellular domains (Met1-Thr751), which contain all the information necessary for high affinity ligand binding. The FLT1 fc/Chimera is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 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. All VEGF-receptors have seven immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains, a single transmembrane region and an intracellular split tyrosine kinase domain. VEGFR-2 has a lower affinity for VEGF than the Flt-1 receptor, but a higher signalling activity. Mitogenic activity in endothelial cells is mainly mediated by VEGFR-2 leading to their proliferation. Differential splicing of the flt-1 gene leads to the formation of a secreted, soluble variant of VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1). No naturally occurring, secreted forms of VEGFR-2 have so far been reported. The binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR-2 is dependent on heparin.

    Purification
    
    Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
    
    Formulation
    
    FLT1 D1-7 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) sterile solution containing PBS Buffer, pH 7.4.
    
    Storage
    
    Lyophilized FLT-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FLT1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FLT1 Fc/Chimera in PBS not less than 50µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The activity of FLT1/Fc was determined by its ability to inhibit the VEGF-dependent proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 10-30 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 33,333.33-100,000 units/mg.
