- Overview
  - Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA Human Recombinant is a disulfide-linked homodimer Consists of two A chains containing 111 amino acids each and having a total molecular mass of 25.3KDa. PDGF-AA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGF is stored in platelet alpha-granules and released upon platelet activation. The PDGF is involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGF have been identified and named PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta. PDGFR-alpha is high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-beta interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB.

    Type
    
    Recombinant Proteins
    
    Purification
    
    Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
    
    Formulation
    
    PDGF-AA was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.0.
    
    Storage
    
    Lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor AA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PDGF-AA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
    
    * For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic/therapeutics procedures.
- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor-AA in Sterile 4mM HCl to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. The ED50, as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine Balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 5.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 105 IU/mg.
