Description
TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein is initially identified as a growth factor that induces the growth of rodent fibroblasts. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein inhibits the cell cycle in the G1 phase. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 is an endogenous factor controlling apoptosis in normal and pathological tissues. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein, Mouse/Rat (HEK293, Tag Free) is a recombinant protein (A279-S390) produced by HEK293 cells[1][2].
Background
TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein (transforming growth factor beta 1) is a multifunctional cytokine, which is synthesized by almost all cells. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein has a high ability to bind with TGFbRII[3].
The sequence of amino acids in TGFb1 proteins from different species is very stable, which leads to the conclusion that in the process of evolution, TGFb has been only slightly altered, and that both in humans and in animals, its function is similar.
TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein is secreted as an inactive peptide, forming part of a ‘latent complex’ consisting of a mature TGFB1 dimer non-covalently bound to its latency-associated peptide (LAP) and, via LAP, to latent TGFB-binding proteins (LTBPs). Activated TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein binds to ubiquitously expressed cell-surface TGFB1 type I receptors (TGFBRI) and type II receptors (TGFBRII), which are transmembrane serine/threonine kinases[4].
TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein regulates cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and cells movement. TGFb1 has immunomodulatory effects. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein has profibrogenic effects. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein action can be local and systemic. TGF beta 1/TGFB1 Protein plays a driving role in development, fibrosis and cancer[4].
In Vitro
TGFB1 (1-1 ng/ml, 6 min) induces phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 in CLENDO cells[5].
TGFB1 (1 ng/mL) significantly reduced both basal and fetal-calf-serum-stimulated DNA synthesis, without reducing cell viability[5].
TGFB1 (1 ng/mL) decreases CLENDO cell migration and causes loss of VE-cadherin from cellular junctions[5].
In Vivo
TGF-β1 (1 ng/ μL, 2 μL, i.c.v.) significantly blocks the antidepressant effects of (R)-ketamine in CSDS susceptible mice[6].
Verified Bioactivity
1. Measured by its ability to inhibit IL-4-dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells and the ED50 is 5-25 pg/mL.
2. Measured by its ability to inhibit cell proliferation of Mv-1-Lu mink lung epithelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is <0.8 ng/mL.
