Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA Mouse Recombinant ( PDGF AA Mouse )

Data sheet

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized with no additives.

Solubility

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

Purity

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

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.

Protein Background

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

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

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

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

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 ad

Biological Activity

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.
