Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Rabbit Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A (PDGFA) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:
  
  • Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a motif of eight cysteines. This gene product can exist either as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with the platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide, where the dimers are connected by disulfide bonds. Studies using knockout mice have shown cellular defects in oligodendrocytes, alveolar smooth muscle cells, and Leydig cells in the testis
  • knockout mice die either as embryos or shortly after birth. Two splice variants have been identified for this gene.
• Storage and shipping:All of the components are shipped on ice packs/blue ice. Upon receiving the kit keep it at +4 degrees Celsius for up to 1 year (refer to the label on the box for the exact expiration date).
