Description: TGF alpha 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. This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. Staining with the antibody is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody.
Immunogen: A 17-amino acid synthetic peptide from the carboxyl-terminus of rat TGF alpha was used as the immunogen for this antibody.
Storage: Store the TGF alpha antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
