Product Description |
Recombinant Rat PDGF-AA Protein is expressed from Yeast with His tag at the N-terminus.It contains Arg86-Lys204. |
Product Background |
PDGF (Platelet-derived growth factor) is one among numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division. The PDGF family forms five dimeric ligands, PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, PDGF-CC, PDGF-DD, and PDGF-AB, which activate cognate receptor tyrosine kinases PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β. Upon binding to its tyrosine kinase receptor PDGF-αα, PDGF-AA stimulates the proliferation of osteoblastic cells and may exert autocrine and paracrine effects in regulating bone-forming processes. PDGF-AA is the most well characterized mitogen that is not restricted to any kind of tumor cell type but was seen in osteoblastic cells as well as in pleomorphic tumor elements. |

> 90% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE |
Endotoxin |
Less than 1EU per ug by the LAL method. |
Form |
Lyophilized |
Shipping |
Shipped at ambient temperature. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 ug/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
