Ordering
For Research Use Only!
Host
Mouse
Reactivity
Human, Rabbit, Zebrafish
Clonality
Monoclonal
Isotype
IgG1, kappa
Clone Number
TG86
Specificity
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 - (aa50) 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.
Form/Format
200ug/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide. Also available WITHOUT BSA & azide at 1.0mg/ml.
Sequence Length
159
Applicable Applications for anti-TGFA antibody
Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin
Application Notes
Flow Cytometry (0.5-1ug/million cells in 0.1ml)
Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml)
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-paraffin) (2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasmic and Extracellular (Secreted)
Immunogen
A 10-amino acid synthetic peptide (aa34-43; PPVAAAVVSH) from human TGFalpha.
Hu-Chromosome Location
2p13.3
Positive Control
Jurkat or Ramos cells. Testicular Carcinoma

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a growth factor that is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. This protein may act as either a transmembrane-bound ligand or a soluble ligand. This gene has been associated with many types of cancers, and it may also be involved in some cases of cleft lip/palate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Uniprot Description

TGFalpha: TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor/EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar. Interacts with the PDZ domains of MAGI3, SDCBP and SNTA1. The interaction with SDCBP, is required for the targeting to the cell surface. In the endoplasmic reticulum, in its immature form (i.e. with a prosegment and lacking full N-glycosylation), interacts with CNIH. In the Golgi apparatus, may form a complex with CNIH and GORASP2. Interacts (via cytoplasmic C-terminal domain) with NKD2. Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in keratinocytes and tumor-derived cell lines. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Cell cycle regulation; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Ligand, receptor tyrosine kinase

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p13

Cellular Component: basolateral plasma membrane; cell surface; cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; ER-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; extracellular space; integral to plasma membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm

Molecular Function: epidermal growth factor receptor binding; growth factor activity; protein binding

Biological Process: activation of MAPK activity; cell proliferation; COPII coating of Golgi vesicle; ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; positive regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor activity; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; positive regulation of mitosis

Product Notes

The TGFA tgfa (Catalog #AAA438164) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The TGF-alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Rabbit, Zebrafish and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TGF-alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin. Flow Cytometry (0.5-1ug/million cells in 0.1ml) Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml) Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-paraffin) (2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TGFA tgfa 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 "TGF-alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha), Monoclonal Antibody" 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.
