TGF-alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha)

• Gene Name:

  [TGFA]

• NCBI Gene ID:

  7039

• Reactivity:

  Human, Cow, Rat, Mouse. Others not known.

• Storage Conditions:

  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 degree C.
  Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C.
  Antibody is stable for 24 months. 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. TGFª +/- (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.
