PDGF-AA Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA Mouse Recombinant Protein

• Description:

  PDGF-AA Mouse Recombinant is a disulfide linked homodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2 x 126 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 28.9 kDa. PDGF-AA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

• Synonyms:

  Glioma-derived growth factor; GDGF; Osteosarcoma-derived Growth Factor; ODGF; PDGF-AA; PDGF-1

• Gene Name:

  PDGFA

• UniProt:

  P20033

• Reactivity:

  Mouse

• Tissue Specificity:

  Expression primarily localized in papillary regions with presumable expression in tubular cells comprising the loop of Henle. In the renal cortex, a widespread expression seen in the vascular smooth muscle cells and is barely detectable in interstitial cells.

• Source:

  Escherichia coli

• Sequence:

  [object Object]

• Purification:

  Greater than 97.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC and (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

• Bioactivity:

  Established by the dose-dependent stimulation of Balb/c 3T3 cells proliferation. The expected ED50 for this effect is 8-10 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000-125,000IU/mg.

• Form:

  Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

• Reconstitution:

  It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized PDGF-AA in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O at a concentration ranging between 0.1-0.5mg per 1ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

• Function:

  Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Required for normal lung alveolar septum formation during embryogenesis, normal development of the gastrointestinal tract, normal development of Leydig cells and spermatogenesis. Required for normal oligodendrocyte development and normal myelination in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFB.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Available

• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized PDGF-AA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PDGF-AA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

• Other Gene Names:

  Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A

• Subcellular Location:

  Secreted. Released by platelets upon wounding.
