Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor beta-1/TGFB1

Source: Human Cells. MW :12.8kD. Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala279-Ser390 is expressed. Transforming Growth Factor beta-1 (TGF beta-1) is a secreted protein which belongs to the TGF- beta family. TGF beta-1 is abundantly expressed in bone, articular cartilage and chondrocytes and is increased in osteoarthritis (OA) . TGF beta-1 performs many cellular functions, including the control of cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. The precursor is cleaved into a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature TGF beta-1 peptide. TGF beta-1 may also form heterodimers with other TGF beta family members. It has been found that TGF beta-1 is frequently upregulated in tumor cells. Mutations in this gene results in Camurati-Engelmann disease.

Components

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 50mM Glycine 50mM NaCl pH4.0.

Shipping Conditions

The product is shipped at ambient temperature.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.

Applications Notes

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. Endotoxin : Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test.
