Description
Description: The eBioTB2F antibody reacts with Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta), a pleiotropic cytokine, exists in five isoforms, known as TGF-beta1-5. Homologies between isoforms range from 70-80% but no homology exists to TGF-alpha. TGF-beta1 is ubiquitous and the most abundant form found in lymphoid organs, while other isoforms are expressed in a more restricted distribution. The biologically active state of all isoforms are disulfide-linked homodimers. The heat- and acid- stable monomeric subunits have a length of 112 amino acids. The isoforms of TGF-beta arise by proteolytic cleavage of longer precursors; the isoforms are derived from the carboxyterminal ends of these precursors. Isoforms isolated from different species are evolutionarily closely conserved and have sequence identities on the order of 98%. Mature human, porcine, simian, chicken and bovine TGF-beta1 are identical and differ from mouse TGF-beta1 in a single amino acid. TGF-beta1 is produced in very high levels by platelets. Other cellular sources of TGF-beta1 include macrophages, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, chondrocytes, and leukemic cells. TGF-beta1 secretion can be induced by steroids, retinoids, EGF, NGF, vitamin D3, and IL-1. Activities of TGF-beta1 include inhibition of cell growth for inhibitor for normal and transformed epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, and lymphoid cells and other hematopoietic cell types. TGF-beta1 inhibits the proliferation of T cells and NK cells and down regulates the activities of activated macrophages. TGF-beta1 blocks the anti-tumor activity of IL-2 - bearing lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells.
