Porcine Protransforming growth factor alpha (TGFA) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this sandwich ELISA is designed for the quantitative detection of porcine protransforming growth factor alpha (TGFA) in pig samples. The kit supports research applications such as cancer studies, where TGFA dysregulation is of interest, and is supplied for research use only.

The assay accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The manufacturer reports a detection range of 31.2–2000 pg/mL and a sensitivity of 15.6 pg/mL, with specificity for natural and recombinant pig protransforming growth factor alpha.

According to the manufacturer, TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that binds the EGF receptor (EGFR) and acts synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar, supporting the study of growth factor biology and disease mechanisms in porcine models.
