PPBP (Platelet Basic Protein, PBP, TC1, TC2, TGB, LDGF, MDGF, TGB1, B-TG1, CTAP3, CXCL7, NAP-2, SCYB7, THBGB, LA-PF4, SCAR10, THBGB1, Beta-TG, CTAPIII, CTAP-III)

The protein encoded by this gene is a platelet-derived growth factor that belongs to the CXC chemokine family. This growth factor is a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils. It has been shown to stimulate various cellular processes including DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, and synthesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by synovial cells. _ Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended...
