Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of TGFa in bovine serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a growth factor that is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. This protein may act as either a transmembrane-bound ligand or a soluble ligand. This gene has been associated with many types of cancers, and it may also be involved in some cases of cleft lip/palate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
