Hu Recom TGF-alpha, 10 µg

Recombinant human TGF-alpha, supplied by STEMCELL Technologies, is a member of the EGF family that stimulates proliferation and differentiation in epidermal and epithelial cells. The biological activity of the protein is measured by its ability to promote proliferation of BALB/c 3T3 cells, with cell proliferation assessed using a fluorometric assay method.

The EC50, defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum, is less than 0.2 ng/mL in the manufacturer's assay. Purity has been confirmed by resolving 2 μg of the protein with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) conditions, followed by visualization with Coomassie Blue staining.

The product is designed to support research workflows involving the expansion and differentiation of human neural stem and progenitor cells, as well as the establishment and maintenance of mouse intestinal organoids.
