Anti-PDGFD Antibody Picoband®

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines, seven of which are found in this factor. This gene product only forms homodimers and, therefore, does not dimerize with the other three family members. It differs from alpha and beta members of this family in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Two splice variants have been identified for this gene.

PDGFD; IEGF; SCDGFB; MSTP036; UNQ1899/PRO4345; Platelet-derived growth factor D; PDGF-D; Iris-expressed growth factor; Spinal cord-derived growth factor B; SCDGF-B [Cleaved into: Platelet-derived growth factor D, latent form; PDGFD latent form; Platelet-derived growth factor D, receptor-binding form; PDGFD receptor-binding form]

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human PDGFD. Human PDGFD shares 83.3% and 91.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PDGFD, respectively.

At -20°C for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4°C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20°C for six months. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
