Recombinant Human TDGF1, MBP

• Cat.No.: TDGF1-2904H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human TDGF1 (1-188 aa) is expressed in E.Coli with MBP.

Specification

• Cat. No.: TDGF1-2904H
• Description: Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 is the founding member of the EGF-CFC gene family, which is conserved among vertebrates. Proteins within this family contain a signal sequence, a characteristic EGF-like domain, a cysteine-rich region termed the cryptic (CFC) motif, and a hydrophobic C-terminus. It has been reported that Cripto-1 is O-fucosylated on Thr-88 and that this modification is required for the physical interaction with Nodal as well as for signalling activity. We have confirmed that teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 is O-fucosylated at this site.
• Source: E.Coli.
• MW: 65835 Da.
• Formulation: Lyophilized from a solution of phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4 purified by affinity chromatography.
• Application: ELISA, WB, Antibody Production, Protein array.

Q&As

Is TDGF1 associated with any genetic disorders?

Mutations in the TDGF1 gene have been linked to certain congenital disorders. Understanding these genetic associations can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of these conditions.

How does TDGF1 influence neurodevelopment?

TDGF1 has been found to play a role in neural development. It is involved in the specification of neural cell fate and the formation of the neural tube during embryogenesis.

Can TDGF1 be a target for drug development?

Yes, efforts are underway to develop drugs that modulate TDGF1 activity. Targeting TDGF1 could potentially lead to novel therapies for conditions related to cell growth and differentiation.

In what ways does TDGF1 contribute to stem cell biology?

TDGF1 is involved in the maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. Understanding its role could enhance our ability to control and manipulate stem cells for therapeutic purposes.

How can TDGF1 be utilized in cancer diagnostics?

Researchers are exploring the use of TDGF1 as a biomarker for certain cancers. Detection of elevated TDGF1 levels in patient samples may aid in early cancer diagnosis.
