PF-4/CXCL4 Protein, Human

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The PF-4/CXCL4 protein released during platelet aggregation has a crucial impact on physiological processes. It neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin with higher affinity than chondroitin 4-sulfate chains. PF-4/CXCL4, Human is the recombinant human-derived PF-4/CXCL4 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The PF-4/CXCL4 protein released during platelet aggregation has a crucial impact on physiological processes. It neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin with higher affinity than chondroitin 4-sulfate chains. PF-4/CXCL4, Human is the recombinant human-derived PF-4/CXCL4 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Background

PF-4/CXCL4 protein, released during platelet aggregation, plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes. It acts to neutralize the anticoagulant effect of heparin by exhibiting a higher binding affinity to heparin compared to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Furthermore, PF-4 demonstrates chemotactic properties, attracting neutrophils and monocytes, thereby contributing to immune responses. Notably, it also functions as an inhibitor of endothelial cell proliferation, with the shorter form displaying greater potency than the longer variant. Structurally, PF-4 forms a homotetramer, as evidenced by studies. Additionally, it engages with TNFAIP6 through its Link domain, emphasizing its involvement in intricate molecular interactions. This multifaceted functionality underscores the importance of PF-4/CXCL4 in regulating hemostasis, immune responses, and vascular processes.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 0.1% TFA, 20% Acetonitrile, pH 2.5.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
