TGFα Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-TGFα Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

TGFA encodes a growth factor that is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. Protransforming growth factor alpha may act as either a transmembrane-bound ligand or a soluble ligand. This gene has been associated with many types of cancers, and it may also be involved in some cases of cleft lip/palate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
