Name : Rat PDGF R beta/CD140b Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Rat PDGF R beta/CD140b Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-terminus. It contains Leu32-Val531.[Accession | Q05030]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 57.36 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 80-110 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Rat PDGF R beta on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Rat PDGF R beta is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. SPR Data Human PDGFB, His Tag immobilized on CM5 Chip can bind Rat PDGF R beta, His Tag with an affinity constant of 67.56 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).

Background :
PDGF is a major serum mitogen that can exist as a homo or hetero-dimeric protein consisting of disulfide-linked PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The PDGF-AA,PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB isoforms have been shown to bind to two distinct cell surface PDGF receptors with different affinities. Where as PDGF R alpha binds all three PDGF isoforms with high affinity, PDGF R beta binds PDGF-BB only with high-affinity. PDGF R plays an essential role in blood vessel development by promoting proliferation, migration and recruitment of pericytes and smooth muscle cells to endothelial cells. Plays a role in the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells and the formation of neointima at vascular injury sites.

Synonyms :
