products description :
Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to TGF-alpha. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for TGF-alpha and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB (3,3',5,5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain TGF-alpha, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The concentration of TGF-alpha in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

uniprot summary :
Function: TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor/EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar Inhibitor of acid secretion. Inhibitor of aminopyrine uptake in parietal cells (in vitro).
