| Cat-Nr. | 100-105S |
| Size | 2 µg |
| Price | 95 € |
| Source | Insect cells |
| Formulation | lyophilized |
| Purity Confirmation | > 95% by SDS-PAGE & HPLC analyses |
| Length [aa] | 112 |
| Molecular Weight | 25 kDa |
| Endotoxin Levels | < 0.1 ng/µg of protein (<1EU/µg) |
| Biological Activity | Determined by its ability to inhibit the mouse IL-4-dependent proliferation of mouse HT-2 cells. The ED50 was found to be ≤ 0.2 ng/ml (≥ 5 x 106 units/mg). |
| Species Reactivity | Mouse, Rat, Human, Sheep |
| Buffer | Sodium Citrate, pH 3.5 |
| Reconstitution | Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water 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 extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at ‑20°C to -80°C. |
| Stability and Storage | The lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for 1 month and at 4°C for 6 months. Reconstituted working aliquots are stable for 1 week at 2°C to 8°C and for 10 months at -20°C to -80°C. |
| Synonyms | TGFB2; TGF-beta2 |
| Description | The three mammalian isoforms of TGF-β, TGF-β1, β2, β3, signal through the same receptor and elicit similar biological responses. They are multifunctional cytokines that regulate cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and motility as well as synthesis and deposition of the extracellular matrix. They are involved in various physiological processes including embryogenesis, tissue remodeling and wound healing. They are secreted predominantly as latent complexes which are stored at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. The release of biologically active TGF-β isoform from a latent complex involves proteolytic processing of the complex and /or induction of conformational changes by proteins such as thrombospondin-1. TGF-β2 has been shown to exert suppressive effects on IL-2 dependent T-cell growth, and may also have an autocrine function in enhancing tumor growth by suppressing immuno-surveillance of tumor development. Recombinant human TGF-β2 is a 25.0 kDa protein composed of two identical 112 amino acid polypeptide chains linked by a single disulfide bond. |
