General description

Transforming Growth Factor-β 2 (TGF-β 2) is a protein produced by many cells and is found in the highest concentration in mammalian bone and porcine platelets. In body fluids like breast milk, amniotic fluid as well as the aqueous and vitreous humor of the eye, the prominent form exist is Latent TGF-β2. It has a pivotal role in regulating invasion in high-grade gliomas by inducing mesenchymal phenotype and remodeling the extracellular matrix. Anti-Transforming Growth Factor-β2 antibody can be used in neutralization and immunohistochemistry. Goat anti-TGF-β 2 antibody reacts specifically with human and porcine TGF-β 2 and TGF-β 1.2. The product has also shown less than 2% cross-reactivity for TGF-β 1, TGF-β 3 and TGF-β 5.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes TGF-β2 and TGF-β1.2. By immunoblotting (non-reducing conditions) and ELISA, the antibody shows less than 2% cross-reactivity with TGF-β1, TGF-β3, and TGF-β5.

Immunogen

porcine transforming growth factor-β2.

Application

Anti-Transforming Growth Factor-β2 antibody can be used in western blotting and ELISA.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

The TGF-beta's are multifunctional, pleiotropic molecules with major effects in control of cellular migration, cellular proliferation, and elaboration of extracellular matrix. Thus far, five distinct isoforms of TGF-beta have been described, each approximately 65-85% homologous and containing the characteristic 9
