A polyclonal antibody from goat specific for PEDF has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (NSO, M1-P418) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for PEDF is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human PEDF amount of sample captured in plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay Specificity\u003cbr\u003e\nOur ELISA kits are rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility.

Read at 450 nm\u003cbr\u003e\nPigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is also known as serpin F1 (SERPINF1). In humans, it is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene. PEDF has a variety of functions including antiangiogenic, anti-tumorigenic, and neurotrophic properties. It suppresses retinal neovascularization and endothelial cell proliferation. And Antiangiogenic function is also conferred by PEDF through inhibition of both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. In addition, the anti-tumorigenic effects of PEDF are not only due to inhibition of supporting vasculature, but also due to effects on the cancer cells themselves. PEDF is shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and increase apoptosis via the FAS\/FASL pathway. Expression of PEDF in the human retina is found at 7.4 weeks of gestation, suggesting it may play a role in retinal neuron differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF also known as pigment epithelium-derived factor is a secreted glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 50 kDa. Its expression is highest in the retina and also occurs in several other tissues including liver and brain. PEDF has neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. The PEDF protein works mechanically by interacting with receptors on cell surfaces to inhibit angiogenesis and promote neuronal survival and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF plays a significant role in controlling angiogenesis due to its ability to inhibit excessive blood vessel formation. This makes PEDF essential in balancing the vasculature and nutrient availability in tissues. While PEDF does not form part of a larger protein complex its activity influences the biological interplay between cells by stabilizing the extracellular matrix and influencing cell signaling pathways involved in maintaining tissue homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF interacts directly within the angiogenesis and neuroprotection pathways influencing cellular processes critical for normal tissue function. In angiogenesis PEDF disrupts the VEGF pathway by serving as an inhibitor thereby restricting uncontrolled vessel growth. It also plays a role in neuroprotection pathways where it cooperates with proteins like nerve growth factor to enhance neuronal survival and repair processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF relates significantly to diabetic retinopathy and cancer. PEDF's angiogenesis inhibition has therapeutic implications in diabetic retinopathy where unregulated blood vessel growth leads to vision loss. It also shows potential in cancer therapy by targeting tumor angiogenesis. In both conditions its interaction with VEGF is notable as it competes to modulate angiogenesis with potential consequences for disease progression and treatment strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843629076649,"sku":"ab213815","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab213815","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
