  • Rabbit PDGF-BB (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB) (catalog RP1448U) is a yeast-derived growth factor supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~12.2 kDa (monomer), 109 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to rabbit. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study PDGF signaling and cellular processes (including regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and wound healing); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and proliferation assays, signaling studies, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation.

Rabbit Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a homodimeric growth factor composed of two PDGF-B chains that plays a key role in cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and tissue repair in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). PDGF-BB signals primarily through platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) and PDGFR-α/β receptor complexes, activating intracellular signaling pathways including PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and STAT, which regulate fibroblast activation, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix production. In rabbits, PDGF-BB is produced by platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells, and is released during tissue injury, inflammation, and wound healing. Rabbit PDGF-BB has been widely studied in models of vascular biology, atherosclerosis, and tissue repair, where PDGF signaling contributes to vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. It also participates in dermal wound healing and fibrotic responses, influencing fibroblast migration and connective tissue regeneration following injury. Because rabbits are commonly used as experimental models for cardiovascular disease, wound healing, and regenerative medicine, characterization of rabbit PDGF-BB supports studies of growth factor signaling, vascular remodeling, and tissue regeneration relevant to both veterinary health and human biomedical research.
