Background: TGF-beta 1

TGF-beta-1 is a multifunctional cytokine that belongs to a superfamily of structurally related regulatory proteins, which includes three mammalian TGF-beta isoforms (TGF-beta-1, -beta-2, and -beta-3), activin/inhibins and bone morphogenetic proteins. The most abundant isoform, TGF-beta-1, is a 25kDa homodimer composed of two 12.5kDa subunits joined by disulfide bonds. TGF-beta-1 is a highly conserved molecule - the amino acid sequence between human and mouse differ only by one residue. Although originally defined by its ability to cause anchorage independent cell growth and changes in cell morphology of rat fibroblasts, subsequent research has revealed that TGF-beta is actually a major growth inhibitor for most cell types. It is produced by a wide variety of cell and tissue types during all stages of cell differentiation. TGF-beta-1 sources include platelets, bone and soft tissues such as placenta and kidneys.

FAQs for Monkey TGF-beta 1 ELISA Kit (Colorimetric)

Showing  1 - 2 of 2 FAQs Showing All

  • Q: Does TGF-beta 1 react across multiple species?

    A: TGF-beta 1 is a highly conserved molecule varying by just a few amino acids  between most species, and thus it is extremely likely to react across species. For example, human TGF-beta 1 is active on mouse cells and vice versa.

  • Q: Will Recombinant Human TGF-beta 1 support the maintenance of either human or non-human cultured cells?

    A: TGF-beta 1 performs multiple cellular functions, including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.  It would be necessary to determine the specific conditions for cell growth/proliferation for the cells being cultured.
