Description
TGF-b 2 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a non-glycosylated homodimer, having a total molecular weight of 25kDa. The TGF-b 2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Transforming growth factor, beta 2, cetermin, Glioblastoma-derived T-cell suppressor factor, polyergin, G-TSF, TGF-beta2, TGF-beta-2, transforming growth factor beta-2, BSC-1 cell growth inhibitor, TGFB-2.
Introduction
TGFB2 is a 27.08 kDa protein having two identical 118 amino acid peptide chains linked by a single disulfide bond. TGFB2 is part of a family of five related cytokines that have an extensive variation of normal and neoplastic cells, indicating the importance of these homo-dimmer proteins as multi-functional regulators of cellular activity. The three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta (TGFb1, TGFb2 and TGFb3) signal through the same receptor and stimulate similar biological responses. They are involved in physiological processes as embryogenesis, tissue remodelling and wound healing.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
TGF-b 2 was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution containing 50mM sodium acetate pH 4.5.
Stability
Lyophilized TGF-b 2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TGF-b 2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent inhibition of IL-4 induced proliferation of mouse HT-2 cells (BALB/c spleen activated by sheep erythrocytes in the presence of IL-2), the ED 50 is 0.16ng/ml.
