Recombinant Mouse TGF-beta RI/ALK-5 Fc Chimera Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>90%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain
Endotoxin Level
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Rat Endoglin/CD105 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 6440-EN) or Recombinant Mouse Endoglin/CD105 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 1320-EN) is immobilized at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well), the concentration of Recombinant Mouse TGF-beta RI/ALK-5 Fc Chimera that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is found to be approximately 0.25-1.25 μg/mL.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: TGF-beta RI/ALK-5

TGF-beta  RI, also called ALK-5, is an approximately 55 kDa type I transmembrane serine/threonine receptor kinase (1, 2). It contains a cysteine-rich extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane helix, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic kinase domain (3). Within the cytoplasmic domain there is also a short, conserved regulatory sequence known as the GS region that is N-terminal to the kinase domain (1). Within the ECD, mouse TGF-beta RI shares 98% and 90% amino acid sequence identity with rat and human TGF-beta RI, respectively. In the presence of TGF-beta, TGF-beta RI forms a complex with, and is phosphorylated by, TGF-beta RII (1). Phosphorylated TGF-beta RI can then transiently bind and phosphorylate Smad2 and Smad3 (2, 4-6). These phosphorylated Smads form heteromeric complexes with Smad4, translocate to the nucleus, and regulate target gene transcription (2, 4-6). TGF-beta RI is likely important during development, since mice deficient for TGF-beta RI die at midgestation with severe defects in vascular development of the yolk sac and placenta, and an absence of circulating red blood cells (7). Furthermore, TGF-beta RI appears to be involved in proper lymphatic network development (8). Mutations in TGF-beta RI have been identified in pancreatic, colorectal, ovarian, and head and neck cancers (9).
