Description
Recombinant Human Placenta Growth Factor (PlGF) Fragment (19-134) is a highly pure, stable protein fragment ideal for angiogenesis research, endothelial cell studies, and structural biology applications. This 116-amino acid fragment maintains key functional properties while offering enhanced solubility and stability for experimental use.
Placenta Growth Factor (PlGF), encoded by the PGF gene, is a crucial growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell development. It stimulates proliferation and migration of endothelial cells by binding to the FLT1/VEGFR-1 receptor. The PlGF-2 isoform additionally binds to NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. PlGF also promotes tumor cell growth and is naturally secreted, with the PlGF-2 isoform remaining cell-attached until released by heparin. This protein plays significant roles in vascular development and pathological conditions involving angiogenesis.
