Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) belongs to a family of five receptor tyrosine kinase receptors that are specific to a number of angiogenic factors including VEGF and PDGF, and are therefore thought to play a role in the angiogenic process. VEGFR-1 is expressed in two forms, predominantly on endothelial cells, giving rise to a full-length membrane bound receptor and a truncated soluble receptor. Elevated levels of the soluble form of this VEGF receptor are used in the diagnosis of pathological conditions.
Neurophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins (including a1-microglobulin and b-lactoglobulin), which are characterized by their ability to bind small lipophilic substances in their hydrophobic core. These proteins serve as transporters of substances such as retinal, biliverdins, and prostaglandins. There are indications that NGAL is involved in modulation of the inflammatory response and is found in the plasma of patients after stroke. Recombinant human NGAL is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.
FAM120A (C9orf10) is a member of the constitutive coactivator of PPAR gamma family and the gene was mapped to chromosome 9q22.31. FAM120A was recently detected within the Pur-alpha-containing mRNA-protein complex in the brain. As a novel RNA-binding protein, FAM120A is a critical component of the oxidative stress-induced survival signaling. It may participate in mRNA transport in the cytoplasm. FAM120A activates src family kinases and acts as a scaffolding protein enabling src family kinases to phosphorylate and activate PI3-kinase.
