Transforming Growth Factors (TGF-alpha and TGF-beta) — frequently asked
Are TGF-alpha and TGF-beta related?
Despite the shared name, they are structurally unrelated. TGF-alpha belongs to the epidermal growth factor family and signals through the EGF receptor, while TGF-beta1 is a disulfide-linked dimer of the TGF-beta superfamily that signals through SMAD proteins.
What is TGF-alpha studied for?
As an EGF receptor ligand, TGF-alpha is used in proliferation and receptor tyrosine kinase signalling assays, and in studies of epithelial repair and shedding of membrane-anchored growth factor precursors in cell and rodent models.
What is TGF-beta1 used for in research?
TGF-beta1 is widely applied in fibrosis and extracellular matrix models, immune regulation studies and epithelial-mesenchymal transition experiments. Because it is secreted in a latent complex, activation conditions are an important experimental variable to control.
