Anti-PF4 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL4) . By in situ hybridization, the CXCL4 gene is mapped to chromosome 4q12-q21. Its major physiologic role appears to be neutralization of heparin-like molecules on the endothelial surface of blood vessels, thereby inhibiting local antithrombin III activity and promoting coagulation. As a strong chemoattractant for neutrophils and fibroblasts, PF4 probably has a role in inflammation and wound repair.

Synonyms

Platelet factor 4; PF-4; C-X-C motif chemokine 4; Iroplact; Oncostatin-A; Platelet factor 4, short form; PF4; CXCL4, SCYB4

Immunogen

E. coli-derived human PF4 recombinant protein (Position: E32-S101) . Human PF4 shares 75.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat PF4.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in heart, placenta, pancreas, lung and liver and weakly expressed in spleen, lymph nodes and thymus. .

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Field of Research

Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Chemokines, Immunology, Innate Immunity, Macrophage/Inflammation, Platelets, Vascular Inflammation

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Form

Liquid

Function

Released during platelet aggregation. Neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin because it binds more strongly to heparin than to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, the short form is a more potent inhibitor than the longer form. .
