TGF beta 1 Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide| and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer| a LAP homodimer| and a latent TGF-beta binding protein| or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGFB family members. This encoded protein regulates cell proliferation| differentiation and growth| and can modulate expression and activation of other growth factors including interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha.
