Cat. No.	Z101935
Name	Recombinant Human TGFA
Description	An EGF family member, TGF-A is a cytokine that is produced following the protease digestion of its trans-membrane precursor proTGF-A. TGF-A is expressed both in normal tissues during embryogenesis and in adult tissues, such as the brain, keratinocytes, and macrophages and at high levels in transformed and tumour cells.
Organism	Human (H. sapiens)
Unit quantity	20 µg
Family	EGF Family
Aliases	TFGA
Gene Symbol	TGFA
Gene ID	7039
Accession Number	P01135
Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	5.8 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in Acetonitrile and TFA
Function	Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED(50) for this effect is typically 0.10.4 ng/mL.
Reconstitution	Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in sterile 10 mM Acetic Acid
Storage	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z101935

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.
