{"product_id":"v8507-100ug","title":"Thymidine Phosphorylase Antibody \/ PD-ECGF","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecognizes a protein (amino acid 482) of 55kDa (in vivo 110kDa homodimer), identified as platelet-derived endothelial growth factor (PD-ECGF), same as thymidine phosphorylase (TP) or gliostatin. In the presence of inorganic orthophosphate, it catalyzes the reversible phospholytic cleavage of thymidine and deoxyuridine to their corresponding bases and 2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate. It is both chemotactic and mitogenic for endothelial cells and a non-heparin binding angiogenic factor present in platelets. Its enzymatic activity is crucial for angiogenic activity (metabolite is angiogenic). Higher levels of serum TP\/PD-ECGF are observed in cancer patients. It is also involved in transformation of fluoropyrimidines, cytotoxic agents used in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, into active cytotoxic metabolites (e.g. 5-deoxy-5-fluorouridine to 5-FU). High intra-cellular levels of TP\/PD-ECGF are associated with increased chemosensitivity to such antimetabolites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"100 ug \/ Mouse","offer_id":46702966702304,"sku":"V8507-100UG","price":539.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9330\/8896\/files\/get_image_3e1118b6-4eaf-466c-9d37-26bb6b7baf6e.jpg?v=1733309723","url":"https:\/\/rndmate.com\/products\/v8507-100ug","provider":"알앤디메이트","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
