This MAb recognizes TGF beta 1, 2 and 3. Three TGFβs have been identified in mammals. TGFβ1, TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 are each synthesized as precursor proteins that are very similar in that each is cleaved to yield a 112 amino acid polypeptide that remains associated with the latent portion of the molecules. Biologically active TGFβ requires dimerization of the monomers (usually homodimers) and release of the latent peptide portion. Overall, the mature region of the TGFβ3 protein has approximately 80% identity to the mature region of both TGFβ1 and TGFβ2. However, the NH2 terminals or precursor regions of their molecules share only 27% sequence identity. TGFβ s inhibits the growth of epithelial cells and stimulate the growth of mesenchymal cells. �
