TGF-alpha

• Gene Name :

  [TGFA]

• NCBI Gene ID :

  7039

• Reactivity :

  Human, Cow, Rat, Mouse.

• Storage Conditions :

  Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80°C. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.

• Specificity :

  This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with Ab-1 is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGFalpha (aa50) is a growth factor with 33% homology to EGF, binds to EGFR, activates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, and stimulates cell proliferation. It plays a role in tumor initiation by inducing the reversible transformed phenotype.
