NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a growth factor found in placenta which is homologous to vascular endothelial growth factor. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
Uniprot Description
Function: Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth. Ref.8
Subunit structure: Antiparallel homodimer; disulfide-linked. Also found as heterodimer with VEGFA/VEGF. Isoform PlGF-3 is found both as homodimer and as monomer.
Subcellular location: Secreted. Note: The three isoforms are secreted but PlGF-2 appears to remain cell attached unless released by heparin.
Tissue specificity: While the three isoforms are present in most placental tissues, PlGF-2 is specific to early (8 week) placenta and only PlGF-1 is found in the colon and mammary carcinomas.
Domain: Isoform PlGF-2 contains a basic insert which acts as a cell retention signal.
Post-translational modification: N-glycosylated.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.

Product Notes
The Human PLGF pgf (Catalog #AAA355303) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355303 ELISA Kit recognizes Human PLGF. AAA Biotech's PLGF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of PLGF in human serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PLGF pgf 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 "PLGF, ELISA Kit" 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
