Formulation_Description | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 4mM HCl. |
Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, thoμgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days.Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months. |
Reconstitution | Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 4mM HCl. |
Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 EU/μg) as determined by LAL test. |
Background | Transforming growth factor beta-2 (TGF-β2) is a secreted protein which belongs to the TGF-beta family. It is known as a cytokine that performs many cellular functions and has a vital role during embryonic development. The precursor is cleaved into mature TGF-beta-2 and LAP, which remains non-covalently linked to mature TGF-beta-2 rendering it inactive. It is an extracellular glycosylated protein. It is known to suppress the effects of interleukin dependent T-cell tumors. Defects in TGFB2 may be a cause of non-syndromic aortic disease (NSAD). |
Biological_Activity | Measured by its ability to inhibit the IL-4-dependent proliferation of TF-1 mouse T cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.5-5 ng/ml. |
