Recombinant Mouse/Rat TGF-beta 1

• Background:

  Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) is the prototype of a growing superfamily of peptide growth factors and plays a prominent role in a variety of cellular processes, including cell-cycle progression, cell differentiation, reproductive function, development, motility, adhesion, neuronal growth, bone morphogenesis, wound healing, and immune surveillance. TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 signal via the same heteromeric receptor complex, consisting of a ligand binding TGF-β receptor type II (TβR-II), and a TGF-β receptor type I (TβR-I) . Signal transduction from the receptor to the nucleus is mediated via SMADs. TGF-β expression is found in cartilage, bone, teeth, muscle, heart, blood vessels, haematopoitic cells, lung, kidney, gut, liver, eye, ear, skin, and the nervous system.

• Description:

  Recombinant Mouse/Rat Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala279-Ser390 is expressed.

  TGF-beta-1; TGFB; TGF-b1; TGFB1; CEDLAP;latency-associated peptide; TGFbeta; TGF-beta 1 protein; transforming growth factor beta-1

• UniProt:

  P04202

• Accession Number:

  P04202

• Endotoxin:

  Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

• Purity:

  Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

• Bioactivity:

  Immobilized Mouse/Rat TGF-beta 1 (Cat#CK33) at 2μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Mouse TGFBR2-His (Cat#CM05) .The ED50 of Mouse TGFBR2-His (Cat#CM05) is 2.5 ug/ml.

• Reconstitution:

  Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 4mM HCl. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
