Description of Murine PlGF

Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of growth factors. PlGF and VEGF share primary structural as well as limited amino acid sequence homology with the A and B chains of PDGF. All eight cysteine residues involved in intra and interchain disulfides are conserved among these growth factors. As a result of alternative splicing, three PlGF RNAs encoding monomeric human PlGF-1, PlGF-2 and PlGF-3 isoform precursors containing 149, 179 and 219 amino acid residues, respectively, have been described. In normal mouse tissues, only one mouse PlGF mRNA encoding the equivalent of human PlGF-2 has been identified. Murine PlGF shares 65% amino acid identity with human PlGF-2. The gene for PlGF has been mapped to mouse chromosome 12 and human chromosome 14. PlGF binds with high affinity to Flt1, but not to Flk1/KDR.

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to bind to immobilized rh-sFlt-1 in a functional ELISA. Recombinant mouse PlGF can bind to immobilized rh-sFlt-1 (100 ng/well) with a linear range at 0.5 - 10 ng/mL.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge vial prior to opening. The lyophilised PlGF is supplied in lyophilized form with carrier-protein (BSA) and can be reconstituted with 50mM acetic acid or PBS/water. This solution can be diluted into other buffered solutions or stored frozen for future use.
