INTRODUCTION
Platelet factor-4 is a 70-amino acid protein that is released from the alpha-granules of activated platelets.PF4’s major physiologic role appears to be neutralization of molecules on the endothelial surface of blood vessels, thereby inhibiting local antithrombin III activity and promoting coagulation. As a strong chemoattractant for neutrophils and fibroblasts, PF4 probably has a role in inflammation and wound repair. Oncostatin-A is a member of the CXC chemokine family. Furthermore, it is used as an inhibitor in the angiogenesis during tumor therapy.
DESCRIPTION
Platelet Factor-4 (CXCL4) Bovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 88 amino acid and having a molecular mass of approximately 9.5kDa.
PF4 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
