Recombinant Human PDGFRA (C-6His)

Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGF Rα) is an enzyme that belongs to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases.It is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, and can form homo- or hetero-dimeric receptors when engaged by dimers of the PDGF family of growth factors, PDGF Rα is strongly expressed in oligodendrocyte, lung, skin and intestinal progenitor cells and induced by inflammation or growth in culture, but is lowly expressed in most mesenchymal cells. PDGF Rα autophosphorylates upon dimerization, activating signaling cascades in PI-3kinase Ras-MAP kinase, and PLC-γ pathways. PDGF Rα has infulence on local gradients of epithelially produced PDGF-AA or PDGF-CC during formation of the cranial , cardiac neural crest and interstitial kidney mesenchyme.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Store at -70°C/-20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.Store at ≤-70°C, stable for 3 months under sterile conditions after opening. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln24-Glu524 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
