Preparation and Storage

Background: VEGFR3/Flt-4

VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1), VEGFR1 (Flt-1), and VEGFR3 (Flt-4) belong to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). All three receptors contain seven immunoglobulin-like repeats in their extracellular domains and kinase insert domains in their intracellular regions. The expression of VEGFR1, 2, and 3 is almost exclusively restricted to the endothelial cells. These receptors are likely to play essential roles in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

VEGFR3 cDNA encodes a 1298 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 24 aa residue signal peptide. Mature VEGFR3 is composed of a 751 aa residue extracellular domain, a 22 aa residue transmembrane domain and a 482 aa residue cytoplasmic domain. Both VEGF-C and VEGF-D have been shown to bind and activate VEGFR3 (Flt-4). VEGFR3 is widely expressed in the early embryo but becomes restricted to lymphatic endothelia at later stages of development. It is likely that VEGFR3 may be important for lymph angiogenesis.
