Description: This antibody reacts with the TGF alpha and shows no cross-reaction with EGF and the neuropeptide synenkephalin. The staining with this mAb is completely blocked by the peptide used for raising this antibody. TGFa 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.
Immunogen: Amino acids 34-43 (PPVAAAVVSH) from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the TGFa antibody.
Storage: Store the TGFa antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
