Rhesus macaque PLGF / PGF Protein, His Tag

Source : 

Rhesus macaque PLGF, His Tag (PGF-R52H0) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Leu 19 – Arg 170 (Accession # F7HB10-1).

Molecule : PLGF

Synonyms : PGF,PLGF,PlGF2,PlGF,PGFL,SHGC-10760

Format : Powder

Category : Bio-Markers & CD Antigens

Accession : XP_001096010.1

Storage : -20℃

Shipping condition : Powder,RT

Molecular Weight : 19.3 kDa

Characteristics :

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 19.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 28-34 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin Level : Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Buffer : 100 mM Acetic Acid, pH2.5

Description :

Placental growth factor (PGF) is also known as vascular endothelial growth factor-related protein, PLGF and PlGF2, is a member of the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) sub-family – a key molecule in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, in particular during embryogenesis. The main source of PGF during pregnancy is the placental trophoblast. PGF is also expressed in many other tissues, including the villous trophoblast. PGF is actived in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. PlGF2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth.
