Anti-TGFBR3 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene TGFBR3 (Transforming growth factor β receptor III) is mapped to human chromosme 1p32-p33.

TGF-β receptor type III precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) interacts with TGF β receptor III (TGFBR3) which allows TGF-β to form a high affinity ternary comple with TGF-β receptor type II (TGFBRII). Thus, TGFBR3 plays an important role as a coreceptor to increase ligand binding to TGFBRII. It enhances TGF-β-mediated effects on the cells and eliminates the biological differences between TGF-β isoforms. TGFBR3 inhibits breast cancer cell invasion by shedding its ectodomain and producing soluble TGFBR3. Soluble TGFBR3 binds and sequesters TGF-β to decrease its signaling.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
