ANTI-TGF BETA RECEPTOR I ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT

General description

Anti-TGF β Receptor I Antibody detects endogenous levels of total TGF β Receptor I protein.

Transforming growth factor β receptor-1 (TGF-β R1), also known as activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) receptor, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 9q22.3. It is widely expressed in human tissues.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human TGF beta Receptor I.

Immunogen Range: 131-180

Application

Anti-TGF β Receptor I antibody produced in rabbit has been used for:

• Immunohistochemistry
• Western blotting
• Immunofluroscence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transforming growth factor β receptor-1 (TGF-β R1) plays an essential role in carbon nanotube-induced fibrogenesis by enhancing collagen production in lung fibroblasts. TβR-dependent signals plays a crucial role in cell growth and differentiation, and polymorphism or mutation of TGF-β R1 leads to head and neck cancer. Activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) or TGF-β R1 promotes the phosphorylation of small mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad) 2 and Smad3. Activated ALK5 inhibits migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs). ALK1 acts as an antagonist for ALK5/Smad signaling. Mutation of TGF-β R1 can also cause autosomal dominant skin cancer called multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma (MSSE) or Ferguson-Smith disease (FSD).
