Product details:
Human PDGF-CC ELISA Kit (ab234568) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PDGF-CC protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human PDGF-CC with 2.79 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor CC (PDGF-CC) is a member of the PDGF family consisting of homodimeric and heterodimeric isoforms. PDGF-CC with a mass of approximately 44 kDa partakes in various cellular processes. It primarily expresses in fibroblasts endothelial cells and some types of neurons. PDGF-CC functions by binding to tyrosine kinase receptors specifically PDGFRαα and PDGFRαβ where it triggers intracellular signaling pathways.
Biological function summary
PDGF-CC influences cell proliferation migration and survival particularly in the context of vascular development and remodeling. It acts as a powerful growth factor for mesenchymal cells and plays a role in embryonic development. PDGF-CC forms a functional complex after proteolytic activation which is essential for its receptor-binding capacity. This factor significantly regulates angiogenesis and wound healing processes.
Pathways
PDGF-CC is integral to the PDGF signaling pathway and is involved in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These pathways promote cellular growth survival and proliferation. PDGF-CC's interaction with PDGF receptors primarily PDGFRα facilitates these biological functions. In these pathways PDGF-CC interacts with other proteins such as PI3K and AKT connecting it to broader cellular response networks.
PDGF-CC has been associated with fibrotic diseases and certain cancers. Its overexpression or dysregulation can contribute to pathological fibrosis through excessive tissue repair. PDGF-CC is also linked to glioblastoma a type of brain cancer where abnormal PDGF signaling leads to tumor progression. PDGF-CC interacts with PDGFRα in these disease contexts highlighting its contribution to disease mechanisms when dysregulated.
