TGF-beta Superfamily
The transforming growth factor β (TGF-beta) superfamily, a group of multifunctional polypeptide, is the largest family of secreted growth factors composed of several subfamilies, including TGF-βs, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), activins, inhibins, and the glial cell-derived neurotrophic factors (GDNFs). TGF-β signaling is initiated by the binding of the ligand to heteromeric complexes comprised of type I and II transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors. Upon ligand binding, type II receptors transphosphorylate the type I receptors. The type I receptor kinase subsequently phosphorylates receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads), which can then associate with the co-Smad, Smad4, and translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription of target genes. This is considered as the “Smad signaling pathway.” Additionally, the receptor complex can activate “non-Smad signaling pathways” through type II receptor– and type I receptor–interacting proteins. TGF-β superfamily members regulate various biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion, apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) production. TGF-β superfamily members also have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases.

The EpCAM/TROP1 protein serves as an important homogeneous interacting molecule that promotes direct contact between intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in the mucosal epithelium. This feature helps establish an immune barrier against mucosal infections. EpCAM/TROP1 Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived EpCAM/TROP1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
