DescriptionHuman Transforming Growth Factor beta2 (TGF- beta2) is stimulatory for cells of mesenchymal origin and inhibitory for cells of epithelial or neuroectodermal origin. Mature TGF- beta2 is a disulfide-linked homodimer of two chains composed of 112 amino acid residues each. There is a 70% homology between human TGF- beta2 and human TGF- beta1. Human TGF- beta2 is produced in genetically engineered e. coli bacteria, and purified by sequential chromatography.
IsotypeN/A
Mol Weight25 KDa (dimeric protein)
