(PIGF, PGF, PLGF-1, PlGF-2.)
PLGF is a growth factor active in angiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to receptor vegfr-1/flt1.
Placenta Growth Factor-1 Human Recombinant produced in insect cells is a homodimer, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 2 x 131 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of approximately 34 kDa. The PLGF-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity: Greater than 90.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Source: Insect Cells.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing no additives.
Amino acid sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Leu-Pro-Ala-Val.
Storage:
Lyophilized Placenta Growth Factor 1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PLGF1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
