Active Recombinant Human PDGFB (82-190aa)

• Cat.No.: PDGFB-035E
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human PDGFB (Ser82 ­ Thr190) was expressed in E. coli and produced using non­animal reagent in an animal­free laboratory.

Specification

• Cat. No.: PDGFB-035E
• Description: Platelet­derived growth factor (PDGF) was discovered as a major mitogenic factor present in serum but absent from plasma. It was found to be secreted from the μ­granules of platelets activated during the coagulation of blood to form serum. Subsequent studies have demonstrated that PDGF is not one molecule but three, each a dimeric combination of two distinct but structurally related peptide chains designated A and B. In general, PDGF isoforms are potent mitogens for connective tissue cells, including dermal fibroblasts, glial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells and some epithelial and endothelial cells. In addition to its activity as a mitogen, PDGF is chemotactic for fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, neutrophils and mononuclear cells.
• Source: E. coli
