TGFβ-1 is abundantly expressed in bone, articular cartilage and chondrocytes and is increased in osteoarthritis (OA). TGFβ-1 performs many cellular functions, including the control of cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. The precursor is cleaved into a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature TGFβ-1 peptide.Disulfide-linked homodimers of LAP and TGF-beta 1 remain non-covalently associated after secretion, forming the small latent TGF-beta 1 complex. Purified LAP is also capable of associating with active TGF-beta with high affinity, and can neutralize TGF-beta activity. Covalent linkage of LAP to one of three latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs) creates a large latent complex that may interact with the extracellular matrix. TGF-beta activation from latency is controlled both spatially and temporally, by multiple pathways that include actions of proteases such as plasmin and MMP9, and\/or by thrombospondin 1 or selected integrins. Although different isoforms of TGF-beta are naturally associated with their own distinct LAPs, the TGF-beta 1 LAP is capable of complexing with, and inactivating, all other human TGF-beta isoforms and those of most other species. Mutations within the LAP are associated with Camurati-Engelmann disease, a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by inappropriate presence of active TGF-beta 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternate Names: Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1; TGF-Beta-1; Latency-Associated Peptide; LAP; TGFB1; TGFB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDescription: Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu30-Arg278 (Cys33Ser) is expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccession: P01137\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMolecular Weight: 28.5 KDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApparent Molecular Weight: 20-30 KDa, reducing conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Condition: Lyophilized protein should be stored at \u0026lt; -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.
