Product Name :
TGFα (R139) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Transforming growth factor α (TGFα) is an acid- and heat-stable 50 amino acid protein originally found in rodents and humans. TGFα is 33% homologous at the amino acid level to epidermal growth factor (EGF). TGFα binds to the EGF receptor, mediates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and promotes anchorage-independent growth of normal rat fibroblasts in soft agar in the presence of transforming growth factor β. TGFα is secreted by a variety of transformed cells and tumors, embryonic cells and some normal adult cells. TGFα bioactivity has been found in the urine of cancer patients. It has been suggested that it may act as an autocrine growth factor for the induction or maintenance of malignancy. Alternative Name :
Protransforming growth factor alpha; Transforming growth factor alpha; TGF-alpha; EGF-like TGF; ETGF; TGF type 1; TGFA; TGF α Swiss-Prot :
P01135 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide TGFα (R139). (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS1359 TGFα (R139) pAb.
