MW : 12.8kD. Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala279-Ser390 is expressed. Transforming Growth Factor beta-1 (TGF beta-1) is a secreted protein which belongs to the TGF- beta family. TGF beta-1 is abundantly expressed in bone, articular cartilage and chondrocytes and is increased in osteoarthritis (OA). TGF beta-1 performs many cellular functions, including the control of cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. The precursor is cleaved into a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature TGF beta-1 peptide. TGF beta-1 may also form heterodimers with other TGF beta family members. It has been found that TGF beta-1 is frequently upregulated in tumor cells. Mutations in this gene results in Camurati-Engelmann disease.
