| Catalog Number | PGF-003 |
| Size | 2µg;10µg;1mg |
| Description | The term “PDGF” refers to a class of disulfide-linked dimeric isoforms that function as autocrine and paracrine growth factors and are produced by various cell types other than platelets. They exert potent mitogenic effects on nearly all mesenchymal-derived cells. Abnormal expression is associated with certain cancers, fibroproliferative diseases, and atherosclerosis. The protein also contributes to wound healing and nerve regeneration. The PDGF family comprises four members: PDGF-A, PDGF-B, PDGF-C, and PDGF-D. PDGF-A exists in two distinct forms: a soluble short-chain form and a long-chain form that remains anchored in the extracellular matrix. |
| Application | This product can be used for research on modulating heterodimeric PDGF signaling in tissue engineering with human PDGF-AB. |
| Molecular Weight | 26.4 kDa |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E.coli |
| Appearance | Sterile-filtered white lyophilized powder |
| Purity | ≥ 95% by SDS-PAGE |
| Activity | Determined by a dose-dependent proliferation assay using mouse 3T3 indicator cells, the ED₅₀ was 1.4-2.1 ng/mL. This corresponds to a specific activity of 7.1 × 10⁵ units/mg. |
| Redissolution | It is recommended to reconstitute lyophilized platelet-derived growth factor-AB with sterile 18 MΩ-cm H₂O to a concentration of no less than 100 µg/mL, after which it may be further diluted into other aqueous solutions. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 10 mM acetic acid (AcOH) solution. |
