Recombinant Human TGF-α
Catalog Number:
AF-100-16A
Synonyms:
Transforming Growth Factor-α, Sacroma growth factor, TGF-type I, ETGF
Description:
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 approximay 40% sequence homology with EGF, including 6 conserved cysteine residues, which form 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds. Manufactured using all non-animal reagents.
