Cripto/TDGF1 is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF)- Cripto, Frl-1, and Cryptic (CFC) family. TDGF1 is an extracellular, membrane-bound signaling protein that plays an essential role in embryonic development and tumor growth. It is overexpressed in many types of cancers and acts as a growth factor for tumors. Cripto mutants display defects in mesoderm induction and heart morphogenesis, similar to phenotypes seen in Nodal mutants. Cripto can also activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Akt pathways independently of Nodal by directly binding to a membrane-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan, glypican-1.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 µm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Anwendungsbeschreibung:
Cross-Reactivity: Centrifµge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage,it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA,5% HSA,10% FBS or 5% Trehalose),and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles., ResearchArea: Cytokines & Cytokine receptors
