epitope corresponding to amino acids 40-89 representing mature TGFα of human origin
Modification Notes
Transforming growth factor-å (TGFå) is an acid- and heat-stable 50 amino acid protein originally found in rodents and humans. TGFå is 33% homologous at the amino acid level to epidermal growth factor (EGF). TGFå binds to the EGF receptor, mediates tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and promotes anchorage-independent growth of normal rat fibroblasts in soft agar in the presence of transforming growth factor-∫. TGFa is secreted by a variety of transformed cells and tumors, embryonic cells and some normal adult cells. TGFå bioactivity has been found in the urine of cancer patients. It has been suggested that it may act as an autocrine growth factor for the induction or maintenance of malignancy.
