Host
E Coli
Purity/Purification
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Form/Format
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution in Citrate, phosphate and NaCl (pH 4.0)
Sequence Length
149
Bioactivity
The ED50 was found to be <0.2ng/ml using dose dependent proliferation of trophoblast cells.
Endotoxin Level
<1.0 EU/ug of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in PBS to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Preparation and Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at-70 degree C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2-8 degree C for one month, or at-20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Related Product Information for PlGF active protein
Human PlGF, or Placental Growth Factor, is part of the PDGF/VEGF family and contains the 8 cysteine residues conserved in the family. It can be alternately spliced into three different mature forms. PGF is typically found as a disulfide linked dimer which is highly glycosylated. It is a key molecule involved in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, especially during embryogenesis. It also induces the activation of monocytes, as well as their migration and production of inflammatory cytokines. It is primarily expressed by the placental trophoblast during pregnancy, but is also expressed in villious trophoblasts, decidual cells, erythroblasts, keratinocytes, and somewhat in endothelial cells. PGF signals by binding VEGF R1, and competes with VEGF for binding. Recombinant PlGF is a 15.0 kDa protein.

Product Notes
The PlGF pgf (Catalog #AAA214308) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PlGF, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
