Pleiotrophin (animal free), human recombinant
Pleiotrophin, or PTN, is a growth factor that has mitogenic effects on fibroblast, epithelial, and endothelial cells as well as induces neurite outgrowth. PTN is made by many tissues, but predominantly by the tissues of the nervous system during development. PTN shows a high affinity for heparin. Recombinant human PTN is a non-glycosylated protein.

Produced using animal free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ideal for researchers concerned about the risks and effects of contaminating viruses, prions and trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients used in standard recombinant protein production techniques. Endotoxin levels are less than 1.0 EU per ug protein via LAL. Bioactivity is comparable to recombinant protein produced in traditional techniques.
