Transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) belongs to the TGF-β superfamily of secreted proteins. TGF-β3 has been implicated in the physiology of adult lung, brain and heart. The TGF-β family is involved in a variety of signaling pathways that involve serine/threonine protein kinases. TGF-β3 acts through binding to TGF-βR2 transmembrane receptor in mammals. The important pathways regulated by TGF-β3 are the Alk-5/SMAD, RhoA/Rho-kinase and MAPK pathways. TGF-β3 is involved in morphogenesis, development of palate, angiogenesis, induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition Deregulation of TGF-β signaling has been implicated in many developmental syndromes and cancer progression Anti-Transforming Growth Factor-b3 (TGF-β3) recognizes human and chicken TGF-β3. The antibody shows less than 25 % cross-reactivity with amphibian TGF-b5 and less than 10 % cross-reactivity with TGF-β1, TGF-β1.2, and TGF-β2. This antibody also shows less than 5 % cross-reactivity with recombinant human LAP (latency associated peptide, TGF-β1).
Immunogen
Recombinant chicken transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) expressed in Sf 21 cells.
Application
Anti- Transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 0.1 μg/ml. For immunohistochemistry a working concentration of 5-15 μg/ml may be used. The antibody is suitable for neutralization reactions (ND50 is 0.01-0.05 μg/ml).
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS with 5% trehalose.
Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) suppresses tumor formation since it inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis. However, in advanced cancers TGFβ elicits tumor promoting effects through its ability to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) which enhances invasiveness and metastasis; in addition, TGFβ
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is the prototype of a large family of structurally related cytokines that play key roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by signaling through two classes of functionally distinct Ser/Thr kinase receptors, designated as type I and type
Recent studies using Sertoli cells cultured in vitro to permit tight junction (TJ) assembly have shown that TJ dynamics are regulated, at least in part, by TGF-beta3 via the p38 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. This in turn regulates
Cleft palate is among the most common birth defects in humans, caused by a failure in the complex multistep developmental process of palatogenesis. It has been recently shown that transforming growth factor beta3 (Tgf-beta3) is an absolute requirement for successful
A new type of TGF-beta, TGF-beta 3, has been identified by cDNA characterization. The amino acid sequence of mature TGF-beta 3 and its precursor has been derived from porcine and human cDNA sequences. The human TGF-beta 3 gene is spread
