Plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP, also called PV-1) is the only protein that forms endothelial diaphragms. PLVAP expression is very low in the normal blood-retinal barrier; however, pathological factors such as high glucose and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induce its expression, leading to the exacerbation of cellular permeability. Because the new blood vessels are fragile and leaky, PLVAP could possibly be considered a therapeutic target against retinovascular diseases.

Species | Human |
Expression System | HEK293 |
Tag | N-His |
Accession Number | Q9BX97 |
Synonyms | PV1, FELS |
Construction | Recombinant Human PLVAP Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Tyr49-Gly442.[Accession |Q9BX97] |
Protein Purity | > 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE |
Molecular Weight | The protein has a predicted MW of 45.97 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50-70 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
Endotoxin | Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS, 200mM L-arginine (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
Reconstitution | Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Stability & Storage |
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -20 to -80°C for 3-6 months in unopened state after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Shipping |
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. |
