Background: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is also known as serpin F1 (SERPINF1). In humans, it is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene. PEDF has a variety of functions including antiangiogenic, antitumorigenic, and neurotrophic properties. It suppresses retinal neovascularization and endothelial cell proliferation. And Antiangiogenic function is also conferred by PEDF through inhibition of both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. In addition, the antitumorigenic effects of PEDF are not only due to inhibition of supporting vasculature, but also due to effects on the cancer cells themselves. PEDF is shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and increase apoptosis via the FAS/FASL pathway. Expression of PEDF in the human retina is found at 7.4 weeks of gestation, suggesting it may play a role in retinal neuron differentiation.
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 Human SERPINF1 serpinf1 (Catalog #AAA8248399) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8248399 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SERPINF1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "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
