Background | Transforming growth factor, beta receptor I, also known as Transforming growth factor-beta receptor type I , Serine / threonine-protein kinase receptor R4, Activin receptor-like kinase 5, SKR4, ALK-5, and TGFBR1, is a single-pass type I membrane protein which belongs to the protein kinase superfamily and TGFB receptor subfamily. TGFBR1 / ALK-5 is found in all tissues examined. It is most abundant in placenta and least abundant in brain and heart. TGF-beta functions as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the cell cycle in the G1 phase. Administration of TGF-beta is able to protect against mammary tumor development in transgenic mouse models in vivo. Disruption of the TGF-beta/SMAD pathway has been implicated in a variety of human cancers, with the majority of colon and gastric cancers being caused by an inactivating mutation of TGF-beta RII. On ligand binding, TGFBR1 / ALK-5 forms a receptor complex consisting of two type I I and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which auto-phosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. TGF-beta signaling via TGFBR1 / ALK-5 is not required in myocardial cells during mammalian cardiac development, but plays an irreplaceable cell-autonomous role regulating cellular communication, differentiation and proliferation in endocardial and epicardial cells. Defects in TGFBR1 / ALK-5 are the cause of Loeys-Dietz syndrome type 1A (LDS1A), Loeys-Dietz syndrome type 2A (LDS2A), and aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 5 (AAT5). |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human TGFBR1 (NP_004603.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Glu 125) was fused with the C-terminal His-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Ala 25 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Glu 125 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant human TGFBR1/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer consists of 349 a.a. and has a predicted molecular mass of 38.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rh TGFBR1/Fc monomer is approximately 45-50 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, with ~10% free Fc fragments. |
Purity | >85% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized mouse CD105 at 10 ug/ml (100 ul/well) can bind human TGFRB1 with a linear ranger of 6.4-800 ng/ml.2. Measured by its ability to bind human CD105 in a functional ELISA. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
