Rat Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) ELISA Kit | PEDF elisa kit
Rat Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: The PEDF gene is a member of the serpin gene family. Serpins are a group of serine protease inhibitors, some of which have also been reported to exhibit neurotrophic activity.By the analysis of 3 independent somatic cell hybrid panels, Tombran-Tink et al. (1994) assigned the PEDF gene to chromosome 17. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed localization at the terminal portion of 17p. PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrids containing specific regions of 17 were subsequently used to sublocalize PEDF to 17pter-p13.1. Greenberg et al. (1997) used linkage analysis to narrow the localization of the PEDF gene to 17p13.3, the same region as that carrying the autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa locus (RP13) identified in a South African family.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the serpin family that does not display the serine protease inhibitory activity shown by many of the other serpin proteins. The encoded protein is secreted and strongly inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, this protein is a neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Mutations in this gene were found in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta, type VI. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
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 Rat PEDF serpinf1 (Catalog #AAA9712129) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9712129 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat PEDF. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF), 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
