  • About recombinant protein
    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 induces transformation anchorage independence in cultured cells. Human, murine and rat TGF-α are cross-species reactive. Recombinant human TGF-α is a 50 amino acid polypeptide (5.5 kDa) which shares approximately 40% sequence homology with EGF, including 6 conserved cysteine residues, which form 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds.
  • Other name of the recombinant
    TFGA, Protransforming growth factor alpha, EGF-like TGF, TGF-alpha
  • Recombinant in
    E. coli
  • SEQUENCE
    VVSHFNDCPD SHTQFCFHGT CRFLVQEDKP ACVCHSGYVG ARCEHADLLA
  • Activity
    The ED50 was determined by the dose - dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BALB/c 3T3 cells is ≤ 0.2 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 5 x 106 units/mg.
  • Keep at
    The lyophilized TGF-alpha recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚C. Reconstituted TGF-alpha is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚C. As with any protein, exposing TGF-alpha recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
