Background: Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) is upregulated in some human cancers. It is produced in macrophages, brain cells, and keratinocytes, and induces epithelial development. It is closely related to EGF, and can also bind to the EGF receptor with similar effects. TGFalpha stimulates neural cell proliferation in the adult injured brain. TGFA is expressed rhythmically in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and when infused into the third ventricle it reversibly inhibited locomotor activity and disrupted circadian sleep-wake cycles. TGFA also plays a role in certain paraneoplastic manifestations of melanoma.

Product Notes
The Human TGFalpha (Catalog #AAA355317) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355317 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TGFalpha. AAA Biotech's TGFalpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of TGFα in Human serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TGFalpha for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TGFalpha, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
