SERPINF1 recombinant protein
SERPINF1
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a 50-kDa secreted glycoprotein, is widely expressed throughout the human body, with expression decreasing during human hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer progression. PEDF binds to a cell membrane receptor to exhibit multifunctional activity in many cell types but its signaling mechanisms are largely unknown. PEDF exerts anti-angiogenic activity by arresting VEGF-or bFGF-mediated endothelial cell migration, inhibiting capillary morphogenesis, and inducing endothelial cell apoptosis. In human dermal microvascular cells, PEDF induces FasL expression and subsequently activation of caspase 8, which initiates the downstream apoptotic cascade. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), its induction of apoptosis was shown to depend on p38 MAPK activity and to involve activation of caspases 8 and 9.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serpin family, although it does not display the serine protease inhibitory activity shown by many of the other serpin family members. The encoded protein is secreted and strongly inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, this protein is a neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Uniprot Description
PEDF: a secreted neurotrophic protein that 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. The N-terminal (AA 44-121) exhibits neurite outgrowth-inducing activity. The C-terminal exposed loop (AA 382-418) is essential for serpin activity. Extracellular phosphorylation enhances antiangiogenic activity.

Product Notes
The SERPINF1 serpinf1 (Catalog #AAA517482) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's SERPINF1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Assay. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SERPINF1 serpinf1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SERPINF1, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
