TGF-a Recombinant Protein

CATALOG NUMBER: 40-573

Specifications
source-species:
E. coli
Species:
Human
source-species:
E. coli
Recombinant Protein Sequence:
VVSHFNDCPD SHTQFCFHGT CRFLVQEDKP ACVCHSGYVG ARCEHADLLA
Biological Activity:
Biological activity was determined by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of mouse Balb/c 3T3 cells. The expected ED50 is ≤ 0.2 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥> 5 x 106 units/mg. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg of TGF-α (1EU/μg).
Purity:
Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
physical-state:
Lyophilized
Storage Conditions:
The lyophilized TGF-a recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted TGF-a stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing TGF-a 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.

Background:
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.
