The TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) superfamily proteins are pleiotropic cytokines that regulate a diverse range of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion and apoptosis. The TGFβ superfamily elicits 4 signaling pathways: TGFβ, Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), Activin, and Nodal. Each pathway signals through a heteromeric receptor complex composed of at least 2 type-I and 2 type-II receptors with cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase domains. The receptor complex phosphorylates and activates Smad proteins to regulate downstream gene transcription. There are 3 closely related mammalian members (TGFβ1-3) of the TGFβ family that share a characteristic cystine knot structure. They are known to function as cellular switches that regulate immune function, proliferation and epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT). Each TGFβ isoform has non-redundant functions. For instance, TGFβ1-deficient mice display defects in hematopoiesis and endothelial differentiation, and die of overwhelming inflammation. TGFβ1 is highly expressed in bone and acts as a stimulator of bone formation. A furinlike convertase processes it to generate an Nterminal 249 aa latencyassociated peptide (LAP) and a Cterminal 112 aa mature TGFβ1. Mature human TGFβ1 is 100% identical to pig, dog and cow TGFβ1, and 99% identical to mouse, rat and horse TGFβ1, therefore showing crossspecies activity. TGFβs are identified as potential therapeutic targets for cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This gene is frequently upregulated in tumor cells, and mutations in this gene result in Camurati-Engelmann disease.
Gene Symbol: TGF-beta1; CED; LAP; DPD1; TGFB; TGFbeta
NCBI Gene ID: 7040
Uniprot Entry: P01137
Construct Details: Full length human TGFB1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)
Gene Insert Size: 1173 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
