Description
Product Name: | Human PLGF 2 Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB0864 |
Size: | 10µg |
Species: | Human |
Target: | PLGF 2 |
Synonyms: | PIGF, PGF, PlGF-2, PLGF-2. |
Source: | Insect Cells |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing BSA. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Placenta Growth Factor 2 in sterile 20mM acetic acid not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability: | Lyophilized Placenta Growth Factor-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PLGF2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity: | Greater than 80.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Biological Activity: | PlGF-2 human Recombinant can bind to immobilized rh-sFlt-1 (100ng/well) with a linear range at 0.3�10ng/ml. |
PLGF is a growth factor active in angiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to receptor vegfr-1/flt1.PLGF-2 binds neuropilin-1 and 2 in a dependent manner.
Placenta Growth Factor-2 Human Recombinant produced in insect cells is a homodimer, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 2 x 152 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 44 kDa. The PLGF-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
UniProt Protein Function: | PGF: Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
