Human Latent TGF-beta 3 / Latent TGFB3 Protein, His Tag

Transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGFB3) is also known as TGF-β3, is a polypeptide member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of cytokines. It is a secreted protein that performs many cellular functions, including regulates embryogenesis and cell differentiation and is required in various processes such as secondary palate development. TGF-beta 3 is similar with TGF-beta 1 and ­-beta 2, act as cellular switches to regulate immune function, cell proliferation, and epithelial­-mesenchymal transition. TGF-beta-3 is released from LAP by integrins: integrin-binding results in distortion of the LAP chain and subsequent release of the active TGF-beta-3. Once activated following release of LAP, TGF-beta-3 acts by binding to TGF-beta receptors (TGFBR1 and TGFBR2), which transduce signal.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 46.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 12 kDa and 40-43 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
