TGFB1 Human Recombinant produced in CHO cells is a homodimeric polypeptide chain containing 2 x 112 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 25kDa.
Transforming growth factor betas (TGFBetas) mediate many cell-cell interactions that occur during embryonic development. Three TGFBetas have been identified in mammals. TGFBeta1, TGFBeta2 and TGFBeta3 are each synthesized as precursor proteins that are very similar in that each is cleaved to yield a 112 amino acid polypeptide that remains associated with the latent portion of the molecule.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 20-60ng/ml before activation and 0.1-1ng/ml after activation as measured by TGF-b1’s ability to inhibit the mouse IL-4-dependent proliferation of HT-2 cells.
