Data sheet
| Formulation | TGF-b 2 was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered solution containing 50mM sodium acetate pH 4.5. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TGF-b 2 in sterile solution containing 20% ethanol, 50mM sodium acetate and 75mM acetic acid. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description | TGF-b 2 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a non-glycosylated homodimer, having a total molecular weight of 25kDa.The TGF-b 2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | TGFB2 is a 27.08 kDa protein having two identical 118 amino acid peptide chains linked by a single disulfide bond. TGFB2 is part of a family of five related cytokines that have an extensive variation of normal and neoplastic cells, indicating the importance of these homo-dimmer proteins as multi-functional regulators of cellular activity. The three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta (TGFb1, TGFb2 and TGFb3) signal through the same receptor and stimulate similar biological responses. They are involved in physiological processes as embryogenesis, tissue remodelling and wound healing. |
| Expression host | HEK. |
| Synonyms | Transforming growth factor, beta 2, cetermin, Glioblastoma-derived T-cell suppressor factor, polyergin, G-TSF, TGF-beta2, TGF-beta-2, transforming growth factor beta-2, BSC-1 cell growth inhibitor, TGFB-2. |
| Stability | Lyophilized TGF-b 2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TGF-b 2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Physical Appearence | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Biological Activity | The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent inhibition of IL-4 induced proliferation of mouse HT-2 cells (BALB/c spleen activated by sheep erythrocytes in the presence of IL-2), the ED50 is 0.16ng/ml. |
