Biological background
Biological context: Calcium-dependent NADPH oxidase that generates superoxide. Also functions as a calcium-dependent proton channel and may regulate redox-dependent processes in lymphocytes and spermatozoa. May play a role in cell growth and apoptosis. Isoform v2 and isoform v5 are involved in endothelial generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), proliferation and angiogenesis and contribute to endothelial response to thrombin.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein., tissue context: Mainly expressed in pachytene spermatocytes of testis and in lymphocyte-rich areas of spleen and lymph nodes. Isoform v1 is expressed in spleen. Isoform v2 is expressed in testis. Also detected in ovary, placenta, pancreas, cardiac fibroblasts. Expressed in B-cells and prostate malignant cells. Isoform v1 and isoform v3 are expressed in epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Isoform v2 and isoform v4 are expressed in endothelial cells. Isoform v1, isoform v2, isoform v3 and isoform v4 are expressed in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Isoform v2 and isoform v5 are expressed in microvascular endothelial cells (at protein level)..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare PDGFC levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of PDGFC in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify PDGFC-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Platelet-derived growth factor C, also known as PDGF-C, is a 345-amino acid protein that in humans is encoded by the PDGFC gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines. This gene product appears to form only homodimers. It differs from the platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta polypeptides in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
- Tissue details: Mainly expressed in pachytene spermatocytes of testis and in lymphocyte-rich areas of spleen and lymph nodes. Isoform v1 is expressed in spleen. Isoform v2 is expressed in testis.
