General description

Platelet-derived growth factor D (UniProt: Q9GZP0; also known as PDGF-D, Iris-expressed growth factor, Spinal cord-derived growth factor B, SCDGF-B) is encoded by the PDGFD (also known as IEGF, SCDGFB, MSTP036, UNQ1899/PRO4345) gene (Gene ID: 80310) in human. Four PDGF ligands known as PDGF-A, PDGF-B, PDGF-C, and PDGF-D have been described that exert their effect by binding to their cognate receptors. PDGF-D is expressed at high levels in the heart, pancreas, adrenal gland and ovary and at low levels in placenta, liver, kidney, prostate, testis, small intestine, spleen, and colon. PDGF-D is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently removed. The latent form of PDGF-D contains a CUB domain at its N-terminal region, a growth factor domain and a hinge region in between. The latent form is activated by the proteolytic action of matriptase that removes the CUB domain, which results in unmasking of the receptor-binding epitopes on the core domain. YR247GR249S within the PDGF-D hinge region is shown to be the cleavage site for removal of the inhibitory CUB domain. PDGF-D plays an important role in wound healing and induces macrophage recruitment, increased interstitial pressure, and blood vessel maturation during angiogenesis. PDGF-D also induces cellular transformation and promotes tumor growth by accelerating the proliferation rate of tumor cells and by stimulation of tumor neovascularization.

Specificity

This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects Platelet-derived growth factor D in human cells. It targets an epitope within the growth factor domain from the C-terminal half.

Immunogen

A linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the C-terminal half of human Platelet-derived growth factor D.

Application

Anti-PDGF-D, Cat. No. ABC1451, is a rabbit polyclonal antibody that detects Platelet-derived growth factor D in human cells and has been tested for use in Western Blotting.
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected PDGF-D in human recombinant-PDGF D (Huang, W., et. al. (2015). J Biol Chem. 290(14):9162-70) and LNCaP cells expressing PDGF-D, BS-C-1 cells transfected with the plasmid pTF7-PDGF D:HIS, recombinant PDGF-D (Ustach, C.V., et. al. (2004). Cancer Res. 64(5):1722-9).
