TGFB3 Human Recombinant protein encoding amino acids 644-850 and total molecular mass of 50 kDa (Including GST Tag).

Product Specs

Introduction
The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of cytokines plays a crucial role in embryonic development by mediating cell-to-cell interactions. In mammals, three TGF-beta isoforms (TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2, and TGF-beta 3) have been identified. These isoforms share a similar protein structure. Each is synthesized as a larger precursor protein that undergoes cleavage to release a 112-amino acid polypeptide. This active polypeptide remains associated with the remaining portion of the precursor molecule, forming a complex known as the latent TGF-beta complex.
Description
This product consists of the recombinant human TGF-beta 3 protein. It encompasses amino acids 644 to 850 of the full-length protein and has a total molecular weight of 50 kDa, including the GST tag.
Physical Appearance
The product is a clear solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
This product is supplied as a 100 μl solution of purified human TGF-beta 3 protein at a concentration of 100 μg/ml. The buffer consists of 50 mM Tris-Acetate (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, and 20% glycerol.
Stability
While the recombinant human TGF-beta 3 protein remains stable at 4°C for up to one week, it is recommended to store it at -20°C for optimal long-term stability. The addition of a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is advisable for extended storage. To maintain protein integrity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Applications
This product is suitable for various applications, including: (a) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), (b) Western blotting, (c) Inhibition assays.
Synonyms
Transforming Growth Factor-beta3, TGFB3, ARVD, FLJ16571, TGF-beta3.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 3 (TGF-β3) is a member of the TGF-β superfamily, which includes TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. These cytokines play crucial roles in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. TGF-β3, in particular, is known for its involvement in embryogenesis, tissue regeneration, and immune regulation.

Structure and Composition

The human recombinant TGF-β3 is a 207 amino acid protein. It is typically produced in an E. coli expression system and purified to a high degree of purity, often exceeding 98% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses . The recombinant form is a homodimer, consisting of two identical 112 amino acid subunits linked by a single disulfide bond .

Biological Activity

TGF-β3 is highly conserved across species, with human and mouse TGF-β3 demonstrating 100% sequence homology . This conservation underscores its fundamental role in biological processes. The protein is secreted in a precursor form, which includes a bioactive C-terminal domain and an N-terminal latency-associated peptide (LAP). The mature protein functions as a disulfide-linked homodimer .

Functions and Applications

TGF-β3 exerts pleiotropic effects, including:

  • Suppression of B- and T-cell effector activity: This makes it a critical player in immune regulation.
  • Mediation of tissue healing: TGF-β3 is involved in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
  • Suppression of tumor proliferation: It has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells .

Additionally, TGF-β3 promotes the expansion of CD4+CD25+ T-cells, which are essential for maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity .

Research and Clinical Implications

The versatility of TGF-β3 extends to various research applications, including:

  • Stem cell differentiation: It is used to guide the differentiation of stem cells into specific cell types.
  • T-cell regulation and differentiation: TGF-β3 is crucial for studying immune responses and developing immunotherapies.
  • Functional assays: It is employed in assays such as ELISA, Western Blotting, and inhibition assays to explore its biological activities .
