(Western blot All lanes: Protransforming growth factor alpha antibody at 2 /mlLane 1: EC109 whole cell lysateLane 2: 293T whole cell lysate SecondaryGoat polyclonal to Rabbit IgG at 1/15000 dilution Predicted band size: 18 kDa Observed band size: 30 kDa Additional bands at: 35 kDa.We are unsure as to the identity of this extra band. Why is the actual band size different from the predicted Western blotting is a technique that separates proteins based on size - in general, the smaller the protein the faster it migrates through the gel. However, migration is also affected by other factors and so the actual band size observed may differ from that predicted. Common factors include... · post-translational modification - e.g. phosphorylation, glycosylation etc which increases the size of the protein · post-translation cleavage - e.g. many proteins are synthesized as pro-proteins, and then cleaved to give the active form, e.g. pro-caspases · splice variants - alternative splicing may create different sized proteins from the same gene · relative charge - the composition of amino acids (charged vs non-charged) multimers - e.g. dimerisation of a protein. This is usually prevented in reducing conditions, although strong interactions can result in the appearance of higher bands.)

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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.

Product Notes
The TGFA tgfa (Catalog #AAA719498) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rabbit anti-human Protransforming growth factor alpha polyclonal Antibody, FITC reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Protransforming growth factor alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). 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 "Protransforming growth factor alpha, Polyclonal 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.Precautions
