Overview
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB) is a growth factor that promotes the proliferation of diverse cell types, acting on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and connective tissue cells. PDGF exists as a dimer composed of A and B chains, and PDGF-BB is known as the form with the strongest cell proliferation activity. This recombinant PDGF-BB is produced through an E. coli expression system, offering stable activity and high quality for application in a wide range of research and formulation contexts.
Applications
- Cell proliferation assay (NIH 3T3, etc.)
- Fibroblast and smooth muscle cell studies
- Tissue regeneration and wound healing research
- Growth factor signal transduction studies
- Skin regeneration and repair formulations
- Wrinkle improvement and elasticity enhancement products
- Damaged skin improvement and repair products
