Description
The recombinant human PDGF-BB-His fusion protein is a high-purity homodimeric growth factor produced in HEK-293 expression systems, featuring a C-terminal polyhistidine tag for nickel-affinity chromatography purification.
As a core member of the PDGF/VEGF superfamily, PDGF-BB specifically engages PDGFR-β to activate Ras-MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, driving directed migration, proliferation, and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, pericytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells while enhancing extracellular matrix adhesion through integrin αvβ3 upregulation.
In cell therapy applications, this protein serves as a critical component in 3D bioscaffold culture systems, where controlled release kinetics enhance ex vivo expansion and paracrine activation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), synergize with VEGF to engineer functional vascular networks, and promote neural progenitor differentiation into oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), thereby creating vascularized microenvironments for tissue-engineered grafts.
The native disulfide-bonded dimeric configuration preserves full bioactivity, while the His-tag design enables precise purification without Fc-mediated off-target activation, making it particularly suitable for regenerative medicine applications requiring spatiotemporal control of growth factor concentrations.
