TGFBR2 is expressed with a 239aa hIgG-His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor II (TGFBR2) is a crucial component of the Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway. This pathway plays a significant role in regulating various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The recombinant form of TGFBR2, tagged with a histidine (His) tag, is commonly used in research to facilitate purification and detection.
TGFBR2 is a serine/threonine kinase receptor that binds to TGF-β ligands. Upon ligand binding, TGFBR2 forms a complex with Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor I (TGFBR1), leading to the phosphorylation and activation of TGFBR1. This activation triggers downstream signaling cascades, primarily through the SMAD pathway, which regulates gene expression and cellular responses .
The recombinant production of TGFBR2 involves the insertion of the TGFBR2 gene into an expression vector, which is then introduced into host cells, such as E. coli or mammalian cells. The His tag is added to the N- or C-terminus of the protein to facilitate purification using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). This method allows for the efficient isolation of the recombinant protein from the host cell lysate .
Recombinant TGFBR2, His Tag (Human) is widely used in various research applications, including:
