TGF-β Detection Service

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of various immune cells and plays a key role in the research of immune-related diseases. Creative BioMart Biomarker provides TGF-β testing services for clients engaged in disease research and basic research. Years of biomarker service experience enables us to provide customers with fast and accurate TGF-β testing services. Our services are not suitable for private medical diagnosis and testing.

TGF-β

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a key role in suppressing peripheral immune responses and preventing autoimmune responses. TGF-β has three isoforms with similar biological functions, namely TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3, of which TGF-β1 is mainly expressed in the immune system. The three isoforms of TGF-β are produced in the form of inactive complexes and must be activated to bind to the receptor. The TGF-β receptor complex is composed of TGF-βRI and TGF-βRII. TGF-β firstly binds to TGF-βRII, causing TGF-βRII to undergo conformational changes, so that TGF-βRII and TGF-βRI dimerize to form a tetrameric complex, which binds to active TGF-β to activate the downstream signal pathway. The TGF-β superfamily contains multiple members, in addition to TGF-β, it also contains activins, bone morphogenetic proteins, and growth differentiation factors. TGF-β participates in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival, and affects various biological processes including immune response and fibrosis. TGF-β can regulate the chemotaxis and activation of lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, granulocytes and other cells in the periphery, thereby regulating the initiation and regression of inflammatory responses. Regulating the immune response is particularly important for preventing the development of autoimmune diseases, and TGF-β, as a key immunosuppressive cytokine, plays a role in preventing the development of autoimmune diseases.
