PLGF-2, human recombinant protein
Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of growth factors. PlGF and VEGF share primary structural as well as limited amino acid sequence homology with the A and B chains of PDGF. All eight cysteine residues involved in intra-and inter-chain disulfides are conserved among these growth factors. As a result of alternative splicing, three PlGF RNAs encoding monomeric human PlGF-1, PlGF-2 and PlGF-3 isoform precursors containing 149, 179 and 219 amino acid residues, respectively, have been described. Human PlGF-2 shares 65 % amino acid identity with murine PlGF-2

Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Stability & Storage |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. - 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied. - 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. - 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.02 % Tween-20. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biologically active as determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 5.0-50 ng/ml. |
Shipping Condition |
Gel pack. |
Handling |
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. |
Usage |
For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans. |
