Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes vascular endothelial growth factor B (gene Vegfb) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 21.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 29 kDa.
VEGF-B is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor family that binds VEGFR1 and neuropilin-1 but not VEGFR2. It is abundant in heart and skeletal muscle and has been linked to tissue fatty acid uptake and cell survival rather than strong angiogenesis. It is studied in vascular and metabolic research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat heart tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse heart tissue, mouse spleen tissue, rat skeletal muscle tissue, rat spleen tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant rat VEGFB fragment (Pro22–Ala207), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt describes vascular endothelial growth factor B as a secreted protein. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
