Human TGF-beta 1 Protein (PHG9214) in Functional
Immunofluorescence analysis of catenin beta-1 (CTNNB1) was performed using MCF7 cells treated with 10 ng/mL of human TGF-beta 1 recombinant protein (Product # PHG9214) for 24 hours. The cells were labeled with anti-beta Catenin recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (Product # MA5-29202) (Panel a & c;Green). The composite (b & d) represents the merged image with DAPI (blue) and F-actin (red) staining. Cel... View More

Product Specific Information
Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial briefly, before opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in an acidic buffer, such as 40 mM acetic acid or 4 mM HCl, to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For long term storage, it is recommended to further dilute in buffer containing a carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA, and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
Storage: Store the lyophilized protein at 2-8°C or -20°C, preferably desiccated. Store reconstituted human TGF-beta 1 at ≤-20°C (not in a frost-free freezer). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Target Information
TGF beta-1 (TGFB1, Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1) is a polypeptide member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of cytokines, found almost ubiquitously in tissues. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-b is stored in the extracellular matrix as a latent complex with its pro-domain. Activation of TGF beta-1 requires the binding of aV integrin to an RGD sequence in the prodomain and exertion of force on this domain, which is held in the extracellular matrix by latent TGF-b binding proteins. Latent forms are complexes of TGF beta-1, an amino-terminal portion of the TGF-beta precursor, designated TGF-LAP (TGF-latency associated peptide), and a specific binding protein, known as LTBP. TGF beta-1 helps regulates proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, migration in many cell types. Many cells have TGF beta receptors, and the protein positively and negatively regulates many other growth factors. TGF beta-1 is cleaved into a latency-associated peptide and a mature TGF beta-1 peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a TGFB1 homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGFB1-binding protein, or in an active form composed of a TGF beta-1 homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGF beta family members. The gene for TGF beta-1 is frequently upregulated in tumor cells, and mutations in this gene result in Camurati-Engelmann disease and cystic fibrosis.
