Specificity
Natural and recombinant mouse TGF-beta 3
Subcellular Localization
Secreted.
Sample Type
Cell culture supeatants, Serum, Plasma, Urine
Assay Procedure Summary
Activate the sample
Cell culture supeatants, urine: add activating reagent pro rata, i.e. add 20?l of Solution A into 100?l of sample, 10 min later, add 20?l of Solution B. PH 7.0-7.6.
Serum, plasma(EDTA): add activating reagent pro rata, i.e. add 20?l of Solution A into 40?l of sample, 10 min later, add 20?l of Solution B. PH 7.0-7.6.
It is unnecessary to activate the recombinant TGF-beta 3.
Sample was diluted partly after adding activating reagent, so please pay attention to this when calculate target protein concentration.
Anticoagulant
EDTA
Activating Reagent
TGF beta 3 is mostly contained as inactive form in samples, please activate it before assay. Don't activate recombinant TGF beta 3. Solution A: 1N HCI: add 8.33ml of 12N HCI into 91.67ml of H2O. Solution B: 1.2N NaOH/0.5M HEPES: add 12ml of 10N NaOH and 11.9g HEPES into 75ml of H2O, add H2O to adjust volume to 100ml.

Protein Function
Involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation.
Background
Transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-beta 3) is a type of protein, known as a cytokine, which is involved in cell differentiation, embryogenesis and development. It belongs to a large family of cytokines called the Transforming growth factor beta superfamily. TGF-beta 3 is believed to regulate molecules involved in cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation during the process of palate development. Without TGF-beta 3, mammals develop a deformity known as acleft palate. This is caused by failure of epithelial cells in both sides of the developing palate to fuse. TGF-beta 3 also plays an essential role in controlling the development of lungs in mammals, by also regulating cell adhesion and ECM formation in this tissue, and controls wound healing by regulating the movements of epidermal and dermal cells in injured skin. TGF-beta 3 activated Lef1 in the absence of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) via nuclear phospho-Smad2 and Smad4.
