PlGF-3 Recombinant Protein

Product Specifications

Background

PlGF-3 is an angiogenic factor that belongs to the cysteine-knot superfamily of growth factors. PlGF-3 is expressed exclusively in the placenta. It signals through the VEGFR-1/FLT1 receptor and stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration. PlGF-3 lacks heparin binding affinity. Recombinant human PlGF-3 is a 45.7 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein of two 203 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Storage Conditions

The lyophilized PlGF-3 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted PlGF-3 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing PlGF-3 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
