| Gene ID |
7039 |
| Accession | P01135 |
| Alternative Name | TGF-alpha, TGF-A, isoform CRA_d<br/>Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor Alpha (TGFA) |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | An EGF family member, TGF-A is a cytokine that is produced following the protease digestion of its trans-membrane precursor proTGF-A. TGF-A is expressed both in normal tissues during embryogenesis and in adult tissues, such as the brain, keratinocytes, and macrophages and at high levels in transformed and tumour cells. |
| Accession | P01135 |
| Functions | Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED(50) for this effect is typically 0.1?0.4 ng/mL. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution in Acetonitrile and TFA |
| Solubility | Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in sterile 10 mM Acetic Acid |
| Appearance | Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight | 5.8 |
| Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration | <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method. |
| Shipping Condition | Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition | The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? - 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
