PDGF-AA Platelet-Derived Growth Factor AA Rat Recombinant Protein

Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A; PDGF subunit A; PDGF-1; Platelet-derived growth factor A chain; Platelet-derived growth factor alpha polypeptide; Pdgfa; Rpa1

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor-AA in Sterile 4mM HCl to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Required for normal lung alveolar septum formation during embryogenesis, normal development of the gastrointestinal tract, normal development of Leydig cells and spermatogenesis. Required for normal oligodendrocyte development and normal myelination in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFB (By similarity) .

Lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PDGF-AA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
