TGF alpha (Transforming growth factor-α), Human
Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TGFA gene. TGF-alpha is a member of the EGF family of cytokines that are synthesized as transmembrane precursors and are characterized by the presence of one or several EGF structural units in their extracellular domain. Expression of TGF-alpha is widespread in tumors and transformed cells. TGF-alpha is also expressed in normal tissues during embryogenesis and in adult tissues, including pituitary, brain, keratinocytes, and macrophages.
Sequence:
MVVSHFNDCPDSHTQFCFHGTCRFLVQEDKPACVCHSGYVGARCEHADLLA with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus
UnitProt ID:
P01344
Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <0.2 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human TGF alpha is > 5 x 106 IU/mg.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Form:
Lyophilized
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Stability & Storage:
This product is stable after storage at:
• -20°C for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
• -20°C or -80°C for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Shipping Conditions:
Blue ice
