- Reconstitution
- For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored from -20 °C to -70 °C. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50-100 μg/mL in sterile buffer (PBS, HPBS, DPBS, or EBSS) containing carrier protein such as 0.2-1 % BSA or HSA and stored in working aliquots at -20 °C to -70 °C.
- Buffer
- 0.22 μm filtered protein solution is in 20 % Acetonitrile, 0.1 % TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid).
- Handling Advice
- Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Storage
- -20 °C
- Storage Comment
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for one month, at -20°C for six months, or at -70°C for one year.

- Background
- Human TGF-β2 consists of two disulfide-linked, identical subunits, and displays 71.4 % sequence homology with TGF- β1. TGF-β2 is synthesized in cells as a 442 amino acid. Furin cleaves the protein, yielding an N-terminal cleavage product which corresponds to latency-associated peptide (LAP), and the 25 kD C-terminal portion of the precursor constitutes the mature TGF-β2. TGF-β activators can release TGF-β from LAP. These activators include proteases that degrade LAP, thrombospondin-1, reactive oxygen species, and integrins avb6 and avb8. TGF-β2 is the predominant form of TGF-β in ocular tissues, and elevated levels of TGF-β2 have been found in the aqueous humor of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), a major cause of blindness worldwide. There is an accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the trabecular meshwork (TM) of glaucoma patients, and TGF-β2 seems to be responsible for this ECM increase. It has been identified that bone morphogenetic protein-4 and 7 (BMP4, BMP7) are potent antagonists of the fibrogenic effects of TGF-β2 on human TM cells. Smad7 seems to participate in the antagonistic effect of BMP7 on TGF-β2 signaling.
- Molecular Weight
- The 112 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 12.7 kDa. The DTT-reduced protein migrates at approximately 14 kDa and non-reduced protein migrates at 28-30 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The N-terminal amino acid is Alanine.
