Background
TGF-α is an EGF-related polypeptide growth factor that signals through the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. It is produced by monocytes, keratinocytes, and various tumor cells. TGF-α is a well-characterized mammalian growth factor that might contribute to the development of Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) .

Storage Conditions
Lyophilized Human TGF-α proteinshould be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Protein Length
The recombinant human TGF-α consists of 50 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 5.5 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the human TGF-α protein is approximately 5.5 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions .
Formulation
Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM Tris, 50 mM NaCl pH 6.5.
Applications Notes
Human
Other Product Names
TGF-α, TGF α
Recommended Usage
Always centrifuge tubes before opening . It is recommended to centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute. Then reconstitute the lyophilized Human TGF-alpha protein with the buffer we provided not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
