Recombinant Human PDGF-AA
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is an important regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and angiogenesis. PDGF synthesis is induced by IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β and EGF signaling. PDGF functions as a mitogenic growth hormone on cells of mesenchymal lineage, such as smooth muscle and glial cells. PDGF is also stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and is released upon adherence to traumatized tissues. PDGF is a dimeric glycoprotein formed by two A chains (AA), two B chains (BB), or as a heterodimer with an A and a B chain (AB). The PDGF dimer binds the cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β.

SDS-PAGE Showing a Single Prominent Band at 32 kDa
Figure 1. rh PDGF-AA (1μg) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) conditions and visualized by InstantBlue staining showing a single prominent band at 32 kDa. Predicted Molecular weight is 28.9 kDa but runs on SDS-PAGE at ~32 kDa.
