Purity | affinity purified by Protein A |
Buffer | 0.01M TBS (pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol. |
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Secreted. Melanosome. Enriched in stage I melanosomes. |
SIMILARITY | Belongs to the serpin family. |
Post-translational modifications | The N-terminus is blocked. Extracellular phosphorylation enhances antiangiogenic activity. |
DISEASE | Defects in SERPINF1 are the cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 12 (OI12) [MIM:613982]. OI12 is a connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, low bone mass, and recurrent fractures. OI12 is characterized by features compatible with osteogenesis imperfecta type III in the Sillence classification. Patients have normal grayish sclerae and fractures of long bones and severe vertebral compression fractures, with resulting deformities observed as early as the first year of life. |

Background Descriptions | Pigment epithelium derived factor, originally identified in conditioned medium of cultured human fetal retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, is a neurotrophic protein that induces extensive neuronal differentiation in human Y79 retinoblastoma cells, a neoplastic counterpart of normal retinoblasts. It has been suggested that PEDF is synthesized by RPE cells and secreted into the retina interphotoreceptor matrix where it may influence development/differentiation of the neural retina. PEDF is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. The PEDF gene is a member of the serpin gene family. Serpins are a group of serine protease inhibitors, some of which have also been reported to exhibit neurotrophic activity. |
