Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is one of the key regulators of angiogenesis. The most important role in the human body is played by a protein of the VEGF family called VEGF-A. VEGF-A is a 45 kDa glycoprotein homodimer and plays a key role in chemotaxis and angioblast differentiation, endotheliocyte (EC) proliferation, vasculogenesis, and vascular remodeling. As a result of alternative splicing or proteolytic cleavage, 4 main isoforms of VEGF-A are formed, consisting of 121, 165, 189, or 206 amino acid residues.

Anti-c-Myc Tag antibody - mouse monoclonal antibodies to the Myc-tag epitope corresponding to amino acid residues 410-419 (EQKLISEEDL) in the C-terminal domain of human c-Myc. These antibodies are used in immunological methods for the detection of recombinant Myc-tag proteins, as well as for the purification of proteins by affinity chromatography.

Placental Growth Factor, PlGF is a protein from the family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), synthesized mainly by trophoblast cells, stimulating the development of placental vessels and proliferation of trophoblast cells.

Interleukin 2 is a cytokine that has pleiotropic properties and regulates several functional responses of target cells. It induces T cell proliferation (acting as a growth factor) and effector T cell synthesis of cytokines, thus providing an effector response. IL-2 is also a key factor in the development, expansion and maintenance of regulatory T cells, which plays an important role in balancing and regulating the immune response and preventing autoimmune diseases. Interleukin 2 is also capable of activating a number of other cells (B-lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils), triggering the processes of autivation and expression of receptor genes in them, the synthesis of effector molecules, and phosphorylation pathways for many intracellular proteins.

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) isolated from the jellyfish species Aequorea Victoria, consists of 238 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 27 kDa. GFP is characterized by two absorption peaks in blue light at 395 nm (major) and 475 nm (minor) and a fluorescence peak at 498 nm in the green range. At present, the gene for this protein and proteins derived from it, glowing with different colors, is used as a luminous marker in cell and molecular biology to study protein expression in cells and living organisms in vivo. GFP also allows purification of recombinant proteins, where GFP or its derivatives are used as an affinity label.

Human hepatocyte growth factor - participates in the processes of morphogenesis and regeneration, stimulation of the survival of hepatocytes, tubular cells of the kidneys, neurons.

Nojin is a protein involved in the development of various tissues, including bone, muscle and nerve. It is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (MBPs). Noggin has been implicated in a number of pathological conditions.

IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates T-lymphocyte differentiation and maintains homeostasis of naive T-cells and memory T-cells. It is possible that human IL-7 is involved in the regulation of postnatal development of B-lymphocytes. IL-7 plays an important role in the development of secondary lymphoid organs.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a cytokine (glycoprotein) that stimulates erythropoiesis.

Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone synthesized mainly in the liver, the main physiological regulator of platelet production. Participates in the development of precursors of other blood cells. TPO and other TPO receptor agonists are promising therapeutic agents.

Interleukin 3 is a cytokine, a multipotent colony-stimulating hematopoietic factor, produced mainly by activated T-lymphocytes. The main function of IL-3 is participation in the differentiation and proliferation of myeloid precursor cells. IL-3 is involved in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases, including hematological tumors. IL-3 is a therapeutic agent in the treatment of conditions associated with insufficient hematopoietic function of the bone marrow.

Tumor Necrosis Factor α, TNFα is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and astrocytes. One of the proteins of the acute phase of inflammation. It has antitumor activity. TNFα is involved in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases.
