Description: PDGF is a mitogen for mesenchyme- and glia-derived cells. It consists of two disulfide-bonded polypeptide chains, A and B, and occurs as three isoforms; PDGF AA, AB and BB. The three isoforms bind, with different affinities, to two receptor types, receptors. Evidence suggests that PDGF may function as a neurotrophic factor. Receptors for PDGF-A are expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells whereas receptors for PDGF-B are expressed on neurons. These facts suggest that the different isoforms of PDGF may regulate growth and differentiation of different cell types in the developing central nervous system through paracrine and autocrine routes.

Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 27-158 was used as the immunogen for the PDGFB antibody.

Storage: Aliquot the PDGFB antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
