Invitrogen™ TGF beta-1,2,3 Monoclonal Antibody (1D11.16.8), Functional Grade, eBioscience™

Description
Description: The monoclonal antibody 1D11.16.8 recognizes human, mouse, rat, hamster, canine and non-human primate Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) beta 1, 2 and 3. TGF beta is a pleiotropic cytokine that exists as five isoforms (TGF beta 1-5) that share 70-80% homology with each other. However, these isoforms are not homologous to TGF alpha. TGF beta 1 is highly conserved between human, murine, simian, bovine, porcine, and chicken proteins. TGF beta 1 is the most abundant isoform and is ubiquitously expressed by a variety of cell types, including platelets, macrophages, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, chondrocytes, and leukemic cells. However, the other isoforms exhibit a more restricted expression pattern. TGF beta 1 is synthesized as a long precursor polypeptide, which is cleaved to yield the mature protein and the Latency Associated Peptide (LAP). LAP and mature TGF beta 1 remain non-covalently associated during secretion, forming homodimers known as the Small Latent Complex (SLC). Secretion can be induced by steroids, retinoids, EGF, NGF, vitamin D3, and IL-1. The bioactivity of mature TGF beta 1 is dependent on its release from LAP by conformational changes and proteolytic processing. Its activities include inhibition of cell growth in epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, lymphoid cells, and other hematopoietic cell types. TGF beta 1 also inhibits the proliferation of T and NK cells, downregulates the activities of activated macrophages, and blo...
