  • Description
  • TGFB1 Human Recombinant

  • Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 Human Recombinant
  • CYT-716

Catalogue number

CYT-716

Synonyms

Transforming growth factor beta-1, TGF-beta-1, CED, DPD1, TGFB, TGF-b 1, LAP, TGFB1.

Introduction

Transforming growth factor betas mediate many cell-cell interactions that occur during embryonic development. Three TGFBetas have been identified in mammals. TGFBeta1, TGFBeta2 and TGFBeta3 are each synthesized as precursor proteins that are very similar in that each is cleaved to yield a 112 amino acid polypeptide that remains associated with the latent portion of the molecule.

Description

TGFB1 Human Recombinant produced in CHO cells is a glycosylated homodimeric polypeptide chain containing 2 x 112 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 25.6kDa. The TGFB1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

CHO cells.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution containing 0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid And trehalose .

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TGFB1 in sterile 10mM HCl at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. 

Stability

Lyophilized TGFB1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TGFB1 Human should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by -PAGE.

Biological Activity

The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent inhibition of IL-4-induced proliferation of HT-2 cells is 0.0149ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 6.7×107units/mg.
