| Scientific background: | Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) is upregulated in some human cancers. It is produced in macrophages, brain cells, and keratinocytes, and induces epithelial development. It is closely related to EGF, and can also bind to the EGF receptor with similar effects . TGFalpha stimulates neural cell proliferation in the adult injured brain. TGFalpha was cited in the 2001 NIH Stem Cell report to the U.S. Congress as promising evidence for the ability of adult stem cells to restore function in neurodegenerative disorders. |
| References: | 1.In vivo induction of massive proliferation, directed migration, and differentiation of neural cells in the adult mammalian brain. |
| Additional info: | A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal of human TGFalpha, different from the mouse sequence by one amino acid. |
