Description

The production of this Recombinant Human PGF protein required the insertion of a DNA fragment (PGF, 19-170aa) into a plasmid vector and the transferral of this vector into E.coli cells (the step of transformation). The cells were then cultured and induced to express the PGF protein. This recombinant protein was fused with N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag. Its purity is 90%+ determined by SDS-PAGE.

PGF (also named PGFL or PLGF) is a gene providing an instruction of making a protein named placenta growth factor (also known as PGF or PlGF) in human. PGF protein is a member of the VEGF subfamily, which is a key molecule in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Although it was first described in the placenta, it has been identified in low levels in other tissues. PGF protein has been implicated in a variety of physiological processes, including animal organ regeneration, cell differentiation, induction of positive chemotaxis, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway, etc.

Target Background

Function

Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth.
