Produktbeschreibung
Transforming Growth Factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. TGF-alpha has been shown to play a role in the autocrine growth of certain transformed cells. Human TGF-alpha is a 5.5kD protein containing 50aa residues. The sequence shares approximately 40% sequence homology with EGF, including 6 conserved cysteine residues, which form 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds. Recombinant protein corresponding to human TGF, alpha, expressed in E. coli. Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BALB/c 3T3 cells is 0.2ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5x10e6units/mg. Amino Acid Sequence: VVSHFNDCPD SHTQFCFHGT CRFLVQEDKP ACVCHSGYVG ARCEHADLLA Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20C.
