PDGFD, Human

(Platelet Derived Growth Factor D, Spinal Cord-Derived Growth Factor B, Iris-Expressed Growth Factor, SCDGF-B, IEGF, PDGF-D, MSTP036.)

Platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGFD) belongs to the platelet-derived growth factor family. PDGFD gene product only forms homodimers and, thus, does not dimerize with the other 3 family members. PDGFD has an imperative role in wound healing. PDGFD induces macrophage recruitment, increased interstitial pressure, and blood vessel maturation during angiogenesis. PDGFD initiates events which lead to a mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, including influx of monocytes and macrophages and production of extracellular matrix. The 4 members of the PDGF family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are distinguished by a core motif of eight cysteines, 7 of which are found in this factor. PDGFD differs from alpha and beta members of this family by having an odd N-terminal domain, the CUB domain.

PDGFD Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids (250-370) and having a molecular mass of 16.6 kDa. PDGFD is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: E.coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The PDGFD solution (1mg/1ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.4M Urea and 10% glycerol.
