| Product Data | |
| Species | Human |
|---|---|
| Expression Host | E. coli |
| Predicted MW | 25.5 kDa |
| Purity | > 95% by SDS-PAGE and visualised by silver stain. |
| Presentation State | Purified |
| Buffer | 50 mM Acetic Acid |
| Bioactivity | Biological: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BALB/c 3T3 cells is < 1 ng/ml. Specific: > 1 x 10e6 units/mg. |
| Endotoxin | < 0.1 ng per ug of PDGF-AB. |
| Reconstitution Method | Centrifuge vial prior to opening. The lyophilized PDGF-AB should be reconstituted in 50mM acetic acid to a concentration not lower than 100μg/ml. For long term storage of reconstituted protein addition of carrier protein (e.g. BSA or HSA; 0.1%) is recommended. |
| Preparation | Lyophilized purified fraction. |
| Protein Description | Recombinant human PDGF-AB is a 25.5 kDa disulfide-linked dimer, consisting of one A chain and one B chains (234 total amino acids). |
| Note | Always centrifuge product before opening vial! |
| Storage | Store The lyophilized PDGF-AB for one month at room temperature or -20°C. Reconstituted PDGF-AB should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles! |
| Stability | Shelf life: One year from despatch. |

| Summary | This gene encodes a member of the protein family comprised of both platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate platelet-derived growth factor subunit A, which can homodimerize, or alternatively, heterodimerize with the related platelet-derived growth factor subunit B. These proteins bind and activate PDGF receptor tyrosine kinases, which play a role in a wide range of developmental processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015 |
