Avoid repeated freeze-thaws. |
| Target description: | Platelet-derived growth factor C (UniProt: Q9NRA1; also known as PDGF-C, Fallotein, Spinal cord-derived growth factor, SCDGF, VEGF-E) is encoded by the PDGFC (also known as SCDGE, UNQ174/PRO200) gene (Gene ID: 56034) in human. PDGF-C is a disulfide-linked homodimeric growth factor that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form. It plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. It also plays an important role in wound healing and angiogenesis. It serves as a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for cells of mesenchymal origin. Its CUB domain is localized to amino acids 46 to 163. Proteolytic removal of the N-terminal CUB domain is essential for unmasking the receptor-binding epitopes of the core dom+D8ain. Cleavage after basic residues in the hinge region (region connecting the CUB and growth factor domains) gives rise to the receptor-binding form. PDGF-C expression is observed in the fallopian tube, vascular smooth muscle cells in kidney, breast and colon tissue, and in visceral smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. It is highly expressed in retinal pigment epithelia. In the kidney, it is constitutively expressed in parietal epithelial cells of Bowman′s capsule, tubular epithelial cells, and in arterial endothelial cells. Higher levels of PDGF-C and have been reported in the malignant breast tumor microenvironment. In MCF-7 cells increased expression of PDGF-C is reported to enhance cell proliferation and tumor cell motility. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
