Product Specs

Introduction
Platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGFD) is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. Unlike other family members, PDGFD only forms homodimers. It plays a crucial role in wound healing by promoting macrophage recruitment, increasing interstitial pressure, and supporting blood vessel maturation during angiogenesis. PDGFD can also trigger events leading to mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, including the influx of monocytes and macrophages and the production of extracellular matrix. The PDGF family consists of four members, all of which are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and share a core motif of eight cysteines. PDGFD distinguishes itself from the alpha and beta members by possessing a unique N-terminal CUB domain.
Description
Recombinant human PDGFD, produced in E. coli, is a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 16.6 kDa. It encompasses amino acids 250-370 and includes a 25 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-D (PDGF-D) is a member of the PDGF family, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and angiogenesis. PDGF-D, like other PDGFs, is a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin, including fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and glial cells .

Structure and Function

PDGF-D is a dimeric glycoprotein composed of two disulfide-linked subunits. It is one of the five known isoforms of PDGF, which include PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, PDGF-CC, PDGF-DD, and the heterodimer PDGF-AB . PDGF-D specifically binds to the PDGFRβ receptor, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). Upon binding, the receptor dimerizes and undergoes autophosphorylation, activating various downstream signaling pathways such as the PI3K pathway and the STAT3 pathway .

Biological Role

PDGF-D is involved in several critical biological processes:

  • Angiogenesis: It promotes the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is essential for tissue growth and repair .
  • Cell Proliferation: PDGF-D stimulates the proliferation of mesenchymal cells, contributing to tissue regeneration and repair .
  • Chemotaxis: It directs the migration of mesenchymal cells to sites of injury or inflammation .
Recombinant PDGF-D

Recombinant PDGF-D is produced using recombinant DNA technology, typically in bacterial or mammalian cell expression systems. This allows for the large-scale production of PDGF-D for research and therapeutic purposes .

Applications

Recombinant PDGF-D has several applications in medicine and research:

  • Wound Healing: It is used to promote the healing of chronic ulcers and other wounds by stimulating cell proliferation and angiogenesis .
  • Orthopedic Surgery: PDGF-D is used to stimulate bone regeneration and repair, serving as an alternative to bone autografts .
  • Periodontics: It aids in the regeneration of periodontal tissues, improving outcomes in dental surgeries .
