Cat#: | RP-1918M |
Product Name: | Recombinant Mouse PDGF BB Protein |
Synonym: | Glioma-derived growth factor, GDGF, Osteosarcoma-derived Growth Factor, ODGF, SIS, SSV, PDGF2, c-sis, FLJ12858, PDGF-BB, PDGF B-chain, Platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide, Becaplermin. |
Description: | Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli, is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2x109 (total of 2 chains 218aa) amino acids and having a total molecular weight of 24.6 kDa. PDGF-BB is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
Source: | E.coli |
AA Sequence: | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ser-Leu-Gly-Ser. |
Purity: | Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Bioactivity: | The biological activity is determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of human umbelical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using a concentration range of less than 1.6ng/ml. |
Formulation: | The protein was lyophilized from 10mM NaCitrate pH-3.0. |
Stability: | Recombinant Proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70℃ |
Reconstitution: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB in sterile 100mM acetic acid and 0.1% BSA not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Storage: | Lyophilized Platelet-derived Growth Factor BB although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PDGF BB 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. |
