Description: The AFL4 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse VEGF receptor-3, also known as Flt-4. This 195 kDa molecule was identified as an endothelial-specific member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. During early embryogenesis all endothelial cells express VEGFR-3, while in the adult tissues, VEGFR-3 expression disappears from the vascular endothelial cells and is observed only on the lymphatic endothelium. However, VEGFR-3 expression is induced in the adult tissue upon tumor implementation suggesting an important role for this receptor in the tumor angiogenesis. VEGF-C and VEGF-D bind to and activate VEGFR-3. AFL4 is an antagonist mAb.
