TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Protransforming growth factor alpha

Protransforming growth factor alpha Cell membrane Single-pass type I membrane protein
Detection Range
15.6-1000pg/mL
Entryname
TGFA_MOUSE
Linearity
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of TGFA and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Precision
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Intra-Assay CV: ≤3.9%
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
Inter-Assay CV: ≤6.1%
Protein Name
Protransforming growth factor alpha
Recovery
Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of TGFA into serum and plasma .
Interacts with the PDZ domains of 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 (By similarity). Interacts with MAGI3.
