Sheep anti Human TGF alpha antibody recognizes TGF-alpha (transforming growth factor alpha) from human, rat and bovine tissues and fluids. TGF-alpha is a 50 amino acid EGF-related polypeptide expressed in a range of tissues, including skin, pancreas, liver, duodenum, salivary glands, urinary and respiratory systems, and the developing and mature central nervous system (CNS)

TGF-alpha is produced by monocytes, keratinocytes and neuronal cells and stimulates the proliferation of a range of epidermal and epithelial cells, through binding to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). TGF-alpha is mitogenic for multipotent neural progenitors and is involved in astrogliosis.

This antibody does not react with EGF or TGF-beta.
