Description | Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins. Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for PGF detection. Tested with WB, Direct ELISA in Human; Mouse.Background: Placental growth factor (PGF, also known as PLGF) codes for an angiogenic factor expressed in placental tissue that is similar to vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF). It is a glycosylated dimeric secreted protein able to stimulate endothelial cell growth in vitro. PGF is located on chromosome 14 and has been conserved in evolution. It belongs to the family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and binds to the flt-1 VEGF receptor. PLGF-2, which is a PLGF isoform, binds neuropilin-1 and 2 in a heparin-dependent manner. |
