Transforming growth factor alpha plays a central role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival through its activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. This autocrine and paracrine growth factor is particularly significant in cancer biology, where its overexpression has been implicated in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance across multiple malignancies.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody targeting human TGFA offers the consistency and reliability that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence from clone 6E7, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma production, ensuring reproducible results across extended studies and collaborative projects.
Validation across multiple experimental platforms demonstrates the versatility of this reagent in your research workflow. Western blot analysis successfully detects TGFA in human cancer cell lines including A549 lung carcinoma, PC-3 prostate cancer, A431 epidermoid carcinoma, and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, with an observed band at approximately 15 kDa. The slight difference from the predicted 17 kDa molecular weight likely reflects the mature, processed form of the protein following cleavage from its precursor. Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human prostate cancer tissue confirms utility for tissue-based studies, while immunofluorescence staining in A431 cells enables subcellular localization experiments.
The antibody is supplied in a stabilized liquid format with glycerol for convenient long-term storage at -20°C or -80°C. Whether investigating EGFR pathway dynamics, characterizing tumor microenvironment signaling, or exploring therapeutic targets in oncology research, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your understanding of TGF-alpha biology.
