Application Note
ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution. WB: Use at an assay dependent dilution. This antibody reacts with the dimeric (25 kDa) and monomeric (12.5 kDa) forms of TGF beta. When used at an antibody concentration of 5-20 ng/mL, GTX18679 will allow visualization of 100 ng/lane of TGF beta Detects a band of approximately 25 and 12.5 kDa. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Product Note
Western blotting demonstrated that this antibody reacts with the dimeric (25 kDa) and monomeric (12.5 kDa.) forms of TGF beta under both non-reducing and reducing conditions respectively. This antibody recognizes both human platelet-derived and recombinant TGF beta in ELISA.

Background
TGF beta is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types. TGF beta acts synergistically with TGFA in inducing transformation. It also acts as a negative autocrine growth factor. Dysregulation of TGF-beta activation and signaling may result in apoptosis. Many cells synthesize TGF-beta and almost all of them have specific receptors for this peptide. TGFB1, TGFB2 and TGFB3 all function through the same receptor signaling systems.
