PDGFD ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB01191)

Description of target: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division.The PDGF family consists of PDGF-A, -B, -C and -D, which form either homo- or heterodimers (PDGF-AA, -AB, -BB, -CC, -DD). The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines, seven of which are found in this factor. This gene product only forms homodimers and, therefore, does not dimerize with the other three family members. It differs from alpha and beta members of this family in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Two splice variants have been identified for this gene. ;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
