Human PDGF-BB protein

Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal and osteogenic cells and stimulates angiogenic molecules which play an essential role in bone regeneration. PDGF-BB is a member of PDGF family, which promotes cell proliferation, survival and migration, through binding to the tyrosine kinase PDGF receptor. PDGF-BB exerts beneficial effects on haemorrhagic shock, which are closely related to targeting CX43 to improve vascular reactivity and haemodynamics. PDGF-BB functions in corporal cavernosum smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs) via binding to PDGFR.

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using BaIb/c 3T3. The ED50 for this effect is typically 2.588 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant Human PDGF-BB is approximately >3.86 x 105 IU/mg.
