Human recombinant protein expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. It is produced by transient expression in non-transgenic plants. This product contains no animal-derived components or impurities. Animal Free product. Recombinant human TGF-beta3 is a 27.2 kDa protein composed of two identical 118 amino acid peptide chains linked by a single disulphide bond. Transforming growth factor-beta is a family of five related cytokines that have been shown on a wide variety of normal and neoplastic cells, indicating the importance of these homo-dimmer proteins as multi-functional regulators of cellular activity. The three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta (TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 and TGF-beta3) signal through the same receptor and elicit similar biological responses. They are involved in physiological processes as embryogenesis, tissue remodeling and wound healing. Recombinant human TGF-beta3 is a 27.2 kDa protein composed of two identical 118 amino acid polypeptide chains linked by a single disulphide bond. Purity >97% by SDS-PAGE gel
