Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile deionized water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

PDGF-DD, also known as platelet-derived growth factor D, IEGF and SCDGFB, is asecreted growth factor belonging to the PDGF/VEGFfamily. It is highly expressed in the heart, pancreas, adrenal glands and ovary. PDGF-DD forms functional homodimers that bind and induce PDGF Rβ homodimers and PDGF Rα/β heterodimers that promote intracellular signaling. This plays an important role in the regulation of cell differentiation, migration and survival. It has also been reported that PDGF-DD can induce monocyte and macrophage recruitment, increase interstitial pressure and facilitate wound healing.
