| Catalog Number | TGF-002 |
| Size | 20µg;100µg;1mg |
| Description | Transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) cytokine family. Soluble TGF-α is released from the cell membrane through proteolytic cleavage. Membrane-bound proTGF-α is bioactive and functions in cell-cell adhesion or in stimulating neighboring cells. TGF-α is widely expressed in transforming cells. Furthermore, TGF-α is expressed in normal tissues during embryogenesis as well as in adult cells and tissues, including the pituitary gland, keratinocytes, and macrophages. |
| Application | This product can be used for research on stimulating epithelial cell proliferation in tissue engineering with human TGF-α. |
