Scientific Data Images for Recombinant Human TGF-beta 3 Protein

Equivalent Bioactivity of Sf 21 (baculovirus)-derived and CHO-derived Recombinant Human TGF‑ beta3.

As an alternative, please consider our next generation CHO-drived Recombinant Human TGF‑ beta3 (8420-B3). It has equivalent bioactivity to Sf 21 (baculovirus)-derived Recombinant Human TGF‑ beta3 (Catalog # 243-B3). It combines R&D Systems quality with scalability that allows for a solid supply chain. Both Recombinant Human TGF‑ beta3 proteins are measured by their ability to inhibit the IL-4-dependent proliferation of Ht-2 mouse T cell. (orange, green, respectively).

Formulation, Preparation and Storage

Carrier Free
What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Carrier: 243-B3

Background: TGF-beta 3

TGF­ beta3 (transforming growth factor-beta 3) is a member of a TGF-beta superfamily subgroup that is defined by their structural and functional similarities (1-5). TGF-beta 3 and its closely related proteins, TGF-beta 1 and ­-beta 2, act as cellular switches to regulate immune function, cell proliferation, and epithelial­-mesenchymal transition (4, 6, 7). The non-redundant biological effects of TGF-beta 3 include involvement in palatogenesis, chondrogenesis, and pulmonary development (1, 2, 7-9). Human TGF-­ beta3 cDNA encodes a 412 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 20 aa signal peptide and a 392 aa proprotein. The proprotein is processed by a furin­like convertase to generate a 220 aa latency­associated peptide (LAP) and a 112 aa mature TGF­-beta 3 (10, 11). Mature human TGF­-beta 3 shows 100%, 99%, and 98% aa identity with mouse/dog/horse, rat, and pig TGF-­ beta3, respectively. TGF-beta 3 is secreted as a complex with LAP. This latent form of TGF-beta 3 becomes active upon cleavage by plasmin, matrix metalloproteases, thrombospondin-1, and a subset of integrins (12). TGF-beta 3 binds with high affinity to TGF-beta RII, a type II serine/threonine kinase receptor. This receptor then phosphorylates and activates type I serine/threonine kinase receptors, TGF-­ beta RI or ALK-­1, to modulate transcription through Smad phosphorylation (13-15). The divergent biological effects exerted by individual TGF-beta isoforms is dependent upon the recruitment of co-receptors (TGF-­ beta RIII and endoglin) and the subsequent initiation of Smad-­dependent or -independent signaling pathways (14, 16, 17).
