GeneID: 7039 Human TGFA

Swiss-port # P01135 Human Protransforming growth factor alpha

Gene Symbol TGFA
Gene Full Name transforming growth factor, alpha
Background 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]
Function 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. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 17 kDa

    Immunohistochemistry: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections of Human breast invasive ductal carcinoma. The recommended ARG56671 anti-TGF alpha antibody concentration is 0.5 µg/ml with a two-hour incubation at RT. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen. Antigen Retrieval: Boil tissue section in Sodium Citrate buffer (pH 6.0) followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
