Key Product Details

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine

Applications

CyTOF-ready, ELISA, Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin, Western Blot

Label

Alexa Fluor 350 (Excitation = 346 nm, Emission = 442 nm)

Antibody Source

Monoclonal Mouse IgG1 kappa Clone # MF9

Concentration

Please see the vial label for concentration. If unlisted please contact technical services.

Product Specifications

Immunogen

A 17-amino acid synthetic peptide from the carboxyl-terminus of rat TGF-alpha (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: P01135)

Localization

Cytoplasmic and Extracellular (secreted)

Specificity

This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with Ab-1 is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGF (aa50) is a growth factor with 33% homology to EGF, binds to EGFR, activates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, and stimulates cell proliferation. It plays a role in tumor initiation by inducing the reversible transformed phenotype.

Background: TGF-alpha

Transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha) is an acid- and heat-stable 50 amino acid protein originally found in rodents and humans. TGFalpha is 33% homologous at the amino acid level to epidermal growth factor (EGF). TGFalpha binds to the EGF receptor, mediates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and promotes anchorage-independent growth of normal rat fibroblasts in soft agar in the presence of transforming growth factor beta. TGFalpha is secreted by a variety of transformed cells and tumors, embryonic cells and some normal adult cells. TGFalpha bioactivity has been found in the urine of cancer patients. It has been suggested that it may act as an autocrine growth factor for the induction or maintenance of malignancy.
