Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) concentrations in serum, urine, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serpin family, although it does not display the serine protease inhibitory activity shown by many of the other serpin family members. The encoded protein is secreted and strongly inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, this protein is a neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
