目录号 : GP20811Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA Human Recombinant, Yeast
Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Purity | Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. | Source | Pichia Pastoris. |
Phycical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. | Shipping Condition | Shipped at Room temp. |
Synonyms | Glioma-derived growth factor; GDGF; Osteosarcoma-derived Growth Factor; ODGF; PDGF-AA; PDGF-1. | ||
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized PDGF-AA in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | ||
Stability | 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. | ||
Biological Activity | The ED50 was found to be 1ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1,000,000IU/mg calculated by the ability to stimulate the proliferation of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts (PNAS 94, 10205, 1997. Biochemistry, 1996, 35, 12077). | ||
Formulation | The protein was lyophilized with 20mM sodium phosphate buffer. |
PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGF is stored in platelet alpha-granules and released upon platelet activation. The PDGF is involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGF have been identified and named PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta. PDGFR-alpha is high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-beta interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB.
