TGF-α is an EGF-related polypeptide growth factor that signals through the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells.
It is produced by monocytes, keratinocytes, and various tumor cells.
TGF-α induces transformation anchorage independence in cultured cells.
The BioGems Human TGF-α Pre-Coated ELISA （Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay） kit is a solid phase immunoassay specially designed to measure TGF-α with a 96-well strip plate that is pre-coated with mouse monoclonal antibody specific for TGF-α.
It contains E.coli-expressed recombinant TGF-α.
The detection antibody is a biotinylated goat polyclonal antibody specific for TGF-α.
The kit is analytically validated with ready to use reagents.
