R&D SCF - Recombinant Mouse Protein Stem cell factor (SCF), also known as c-kit ligand (KL), mast cell growth factor (MGF), and steel factor (SLF), is a widely expressed 28 - 40 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It promotes the survival, differentiation, and mobilization of multiple cell types including myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, lymphoid, germ cell, and melanocyte progenitors. Specifications and Use for R&D SC…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human LDL RThe low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is the founding member of the LDLR family of scavenger receptors. This family contains transmembrane molecules that are characterized by the presence of EGF repeats, complement-like repeats, and YWTD motifs that form β-propellers. Specifications and Use for R&D LDL RSource of R&D LDL R• A DNA sequence encoding the signal peptide from human CD33 was…
R&D M-CSF - Recombinant Mouse Protein M-CSF, also known as CSF-1, is the primary regulator of macrophage survival, proliferation and differentiation and is essential for the survival and proliferation of osteoclast progenitors. M-CSF also primes and enhances macrophage killing of tumor cells and microorganisms, regulates the release of cytokines and other inflammatory modulators from macrophages, and stimulates pinocytosis.…
R&D PDGF BB, CF - Recombinant PDGF-BB Human Protein Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was discovered as a major mitogenic factor present in serum but absent from plasma. It was found to be secreted from the α-granules of platelets activated during the coagulation of blood to form serum. Specifications and Use of R&D PDGFSource of of R&D PDGF • A DNA sequence encoding the 109 amino acid residue mature human PDGF-B chain p…
R&D Systems - Recombinant Human Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)is a member of the BMP subgroup of the TGF-β superfamily. It plays a dominant role in embryonic dorsal-ventral patterning, organogenesis, limb bud formation, and bone formation and regeneration.Specifications and Use of R&D BMP-2R&D BMP-2 Source • The DNA sequence encoding human BMP-2 (Wozney, J. et al., 1988, Science 242…
R&D Systems - Recombinant Human HGF (NS0-expressed)HGF, also known as Hepatopoietin A, was initially identified as a potent mitogen for hepatocytes in primary culture. Subsequently, HGF was also shown to be mitogenic for a variety of cell types including endothelial and epithelial cells, melanocytes, and keratinocytes. Specifications and Use of R&D HGFSource of R&D human HGF • A DNA sequence encoding the 728 amino acid residu…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 IL-1 is a name that designates two pleiotropic cytokines, IL-1α (IL-1F1) and IL-1β (IL-1F2), which are the products of distinct genes. IL-1α and IL-1β are structurally related polypeptides that share approximately 21% amino acid (aa) identity in human. Both proteins are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. S…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-2 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a O-glycosylated, four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. Specifications and Use of R&D IL-2 Source • A DNA sequence encoding the mature human IL-2 protein sequence (Taniguchi et al., 1983, Nature 302: 305 - 310; Ma…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human FGF basic (157 aa)FGF basic is a member of the FGF family of at least 23 related mitogenic proteins which show 35 - 60% amino acid conservation. FGF acidic and basic, unlike the other members of the family, lack signal peptides and are apparently secreted by mechanisms other than the classical protein secretion pathway. This factor contains four cysteine residues, but reduced FGF basic retains fu…
TGF- β1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-β superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure.1 - 7 TGF-β1, -2 and -3 are highly pleiotropic cytokines that are proposed to act as cellular switches that regulate processes such as immune function, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
