TGF beta 1 Recombinant Protein

Recombinant Proteins

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.

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.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 50mM Glycine 50mM NaCl pH4.0. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
