Target data

Function

Neurotrophic protein; induces extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity.

Activity summary

PEDF also known as pigment epithelium-derived factor is a secreted glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 50 kDa. Its expression is highest in the retina and also occurs in several other tissues including liver and brain. PEDF has neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. The PEDF protein works mechanically by interacting with receptors on cell surfaces to inhibit angiogenesis and promote neuronal survival and differentiation.

Biological function summary

PEDF plays a significant role in controlling angiogenesis due to its ability to inhibit excessive blood vessel formation. This makes PEDF essential in balancing the vasculature and nutrient availability in tissues. While PEDF does not form part of a larger protein complex its activity influences the biological interplay between cells by stabilizing the extracellular matrix and influencing cell signaling pathways involved in maintaining tissue homeostasis.

Pathways

PEDF interacts directly within the angiogenesis and neuroprotection pathways influencing cellular processes critical for normal tissue function. In angiogenesis PEDF disrupts the VEGF pathway by serving as an inhibitor thereby restricting uncontrolled vessel growth. It also plays a role in neuroprotection pathways where it cooperates with proteins like nerve growth factor to enhance neuronal survival and repair processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

PEDF relates significantly to diabetic retinopathy and cancer. PEDF's angiogenesis inhibition has therapeutic implications in diabetic retinopathy where unregulated blood vessel growth leads to vision loss. It also shows potential in cancer therapy by targeting tumor angiogenesis. In both conditions its interaction with VEGF is notable as it competes to modulate angiogenesis with potential consequences for disease progression and treatment strategies.

    Western blot - Anti-PEDF antibody (ab14993)

    Lanes 1-4: Cartilage lysates from 4 osteoarthritic knee replacement donors (100 mg (wet weight) powdered cartilage/ 1 ml RIPA buffer, extracted for 24 hrs at 4°C)

    Lane C: Positive control (overexpressing cell line)

    Anticipated band at approx 50kDa detected. Specificity of antibody allowed relatively long exposure and quite high concentrations of primary and secondary antibodies to be used with negligible background. Good results were also obtained with unreduced samples.
    The additional approx 250kDa band is likely to be due to PEDF crosslinked or bound to high molecular weight matrix proteins (collagen, aggrecan) which are present in cartilage lysates. Reduction using beta mercaptoethanol reduced some, but not all high MW staining and increased the intensity of the 50kDa band.

    Developed using the ECL technique.

    Predicted band size: 46 kDa
