Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will preferentially ship the format we have in stock. If you have special format requirements, please note them when ordering.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary by purchase method and location. Consult your local distributor for specific delivery times. All proteins ship with standard blue ice packs. For dry ice shipping, contact us in advance; additional fees apply.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Working aliquots are stable at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute in sterile deionized water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) is recommended for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer components, storage temperature, and protein stability. Liquid form is generally stable for 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form is generally stable for 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
The tag type is determined during manufacturing. If you require a specific tag, please inform us, and we will prioritize its development.

Target Background

Function
Transforming growth factor beta-2 (TGF-beta-2) is a multifunctional protein involved in processes like angiogenesis and heart development. It exists as a proprotein consisting of the Latency-associated peptide (LAP) and the active TGF-beta-2 chain. LAP keeps TGF-beta-2 inactive during storage in the extracellular matrix. LAP interacts with 'milieu molecules' like LTBP1 and LRRC32/GARP, which regulate TGF-beta-2 activation. Upon activation and release from LAP, TGF-beta-2 binds to TGF-beta receptors (TGFBR1 and TGFBR2) to transduce signals.
