Testing Data
other info1 :
Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/ug of protein (<1EU/ug). Protein Content: Verified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel. Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconsitute in water to a concentreation of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C. Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes of using a concentration range of 1.0-10.0 ng/ml.

products description :
PLGF-1 is an angiogenic factor that belongs to the cysteine-knot superfamily of growth factors. PLGF-1 is expressed in placental tissues, colon and mammary carcinomas. It signals through the VEGFR-1/FLT1 receptor and stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Recombinant human PLGF-1 is a 29.7 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein of two 132 amino acid polypeptide chains.
uniprot summary :
PGF: Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 14q24.3. Cellular Component: extracellular space; membrane; extracellular region. Molecular Function: heparin binding; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; growth factor activity; protein heterodimerization activity. Biological Process: response to drug; organ regeneration; female pregnancy; signal transduction; cellular response to hormone stimulus; positive regulation of angiogenesis; cell-cell signaling; ureteric bud branching; positive regulation of cell division; positive regulation of cell proliferation; response to hypoxia; positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; sprouting angiogenesis; cell differentiation; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway
