PDGF is a disulfide-linked dimer consisting of two 12.0-13.5 kDa polypeptide chains, named PDGF-A and PDGF-B. PDGF is stored in platelet α-granules and released upon platelet activation. PDGF is involved in many biological processes, including proliferation, chemotaxis, embryonic neuronal development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Use sterile deionized water to reconstitute the freeze-dried protein. It is recommended to divide the protein into aliquots when using it for the first time to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Features Recombinant human PDGF-AA derived from CHO cells. Provided in the form of lyophilized powder. High activity, high purity. Low endotoxin. No labeling. Applications The three naturally occurring 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.
