Related Product Information for anti-PEDF antibody
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) was first identified as a 50kD secreted protein in conditioned medium from cultured fetal human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. More recently, PEDF was shown to have neurotrophic activity in the retina in vivo. PEDF is also a neurotrophic and neuroprotective factor in other systems, including cultured cerebellar granule cells, primary hippocampal neurons, spinal cord motor neurons and amphibian photoreceptors cultured in the absence of RPE cells. The binding of PEDF to retinoblastoma and cerebellar granule cells may be receptor-mediated. PEDF has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis in endothelial cell cultures and in rat cornea and retina in vivo.

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 PEDF serpinf1 (Catalog #
AAA6492622) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The PEDF (Pigment Epithelial Derived Factor) (PE) reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PEDF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. WB: 0.5-2ug/ml detects PEDF in 40ug of RIPA lysates from Y79 cells. 40ug of Y79 cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PEDF 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
"PEDF, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
