01MT12865

Clone REA1214 recognizes the N-terminal latency-associated peptide (LAP) of the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) dimer. TGF-β1 belongs to a family of homologous, disulfide-linked, homodimeric proteins. These highly pleiotropic cytokines inhibit proliferation of most cells, but can promote the growth of mesenchymal cells and enhance extracellular matrix formation. The pivotal function of TGF-β1 in the immune system is to mediate immunosuppression and maintain tolerance by regulating lymphocyte proliferation, differentiation, and survival. TGF-β1 is produced by many cell types, but is repo
