Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Description: This gene encodes a member of the protein family comprised of both platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate platelet-derived growth factor subunit A, which can homodimerize, or alternatively, heterodimerize with the related platelet-derived growth factor subunit B. These proteins bind and activate PDGF receptor tyrosine kinases, which play a role in a wide range of developmental processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
• Molecular Mass: 29 kDa
• Endotoxin: <0.005 EU/μg protein (below level of detection)
• Applications: Maturation of hepatoblasts into hepatocyte like cells
• Storage: Resuspend in water at >100 μg/mL, prepare single use aliquots, add carrier protein if desired and store frozen at -20 or -80 centigrade
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from acetonitrile, TFA
