Validation Data Gallery

• 

  The protein was resolved by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the gel was stained with Coomassie blue.

• 

  The activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of HUVEC cells (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) using Promega CellTiter96® Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay.

Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage	Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution	Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1xPBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

Background

This gene is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. It encodes a heparin-binding protein, which exists as a disulphide-linked homodimer. This growth factor induces proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells and is essential for physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Misregulations of this gene in mice result in abnormal embryonic blood vessel formation (PMID:10838264; 11329058).
