Platelet Derived Growth Factor-AA (PDGF-AA), mouse recombinant (rmPDGF-AA)

Platelet-derived growth factor is a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Binding of this growth factor to its receptor elicits a variety of cellular responses. It is released by platelets upon wounding and plays an important role in stimulating adjacent cells to grow and thereby heals the wound.
