Invitrogen™ TGF alpha Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA5104226

Catalog No. PIPA5104226

Description

Antibody detects endogenous levels of total TGF alpha.

TGF-alpha is an EGF-related polypeptide growth factor that signals through the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. It is produced by monocytes, keratinocytes, and various tumor cells. TGF-alpha induces anchorage-independence transformation in cultured cells. Human, murine and rat TGF-alpha are cross-species reactive. TGFalpha (aa 50) 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.
