PDGF-AA Protein, Human

Cat. No.: HY-P70598
COA Handling Instructions

PDGF-A protein is a key growth factor that regulates embryonic development, cell proliferation, migration, survival, and chemotaxis, and exerts potent mitogenic effects on mesenchymal cells. It is essential for alveolar septal formation, gastrointestinal tract development, interstitial cell maturation, spermatogenesis, and oligodendrocyte development, and contributes to spinal cord and cerebellar myelination. PDGF-AA Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived PDGF-AA protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of PDGF-AA Protein, Human is 125 a.a., with molecular weight of ~16.0 kDa.

Description

PDGF-A protein is a key growth factor that regulates embryonic development, cell proliferation, migration, survival, and chemotaxis, and exerts potent mitogenic effects on mesenchymal cells.

Background

PDGF-A Protein takes center stage as a pivotal growth factor regulating embryonic development, cell proliferation, migration, survival, and chemotaxis. Acknowledged for its potent mitogenic effects on mesenchymal cells, PDGF-A is indispensable for various developmental processes, including the formation of lung alveolar septa, gastrointestinal tract development, Leydig cell maturation, spermatogenesis, and the normal development of oligodendrocytes, contributing to myelination in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Furthermore, PDGF-A assumes a crucial role in wound healing dynamics. The intricacies of its signaling pathway involve modulation through the formation of heterodimers with PDGFB, demonstrating its regulatory versatility. Structurally, PDGF-A adopts a homodimeric configuration with an antiparallel disulfide-linked dimer, and it forms heterodimers with PDGFB, engaging in interactions with PDGFRA homodimers and heterodimers formed by PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Additionally, PDGF-A exhibits an interaction with CSPG4, adding another layer to its multifaceted involvement in cellular processes.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
