Stability and Storage
Shipped at 4°C. Store at +4°C short term (1-2 weeks). Upon delivery aliquot. Store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle.
This product is an active protein and may elicit a biological response in vivo, handle with caution.
-
ReconstitutionLyophilised from a sterile filtered solution. Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in Water to a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20C to -80C

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. -
Tissue specificity
While the three isoforms are present in most placental tissues, PlGF-2 is specific to early (8 week) placenta and only PlGF-1 is found in the colon and mammary carcinomas. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. -
Domain
Isoform PlGF-2 contains a basic insert which acts as a cell retention signal. -
Post-translational
modificationsN-glycosylated. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. The three isoforms are secreted but PlGF-2 appears to remain cell attached unless released by heparin. - Information by UniProt
