Mouse VEGFC(Vascular endothelial growth factor C) ELISA Kit

Background

VEGFC is primarily responsible for lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels, by binding to VEGFR-3 on lymphatic endothelial cells During embryonic development and tissue repair, VEGFC promotes the sprouting and maturation of lymphatic vessels VEGFC also activates VEGFR-2 in certain contexts, contributing to angiogenesis and vascular remodeling VEGFC plays a significant role in pathological processes, including cancer metastasis, where it enhances lymphatic vessel growth and facilitates tumor cell dissemination via the lymphatic system Overexpression of VEGFC is observed in various cancers such as breast cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer, correlating with lymph node metastasis Targeting VEGFC signaling is a promising strategy to inhibit lymphangiogenesis and reduce cancer spread while maintaining tissue fluid balance and immune cell trafficking
