• Immunoaffinity Purification

  This antibody can be used to affinity purify the large latent TGF-beta complex (containing both the 230 and 195 kDa binding protein) and will also pull out “free” binding protein that is not associated with the small latent TGF-beta.

Background: Latent TGF-beta bp1

TGF-beta  is synthesized as high molecular weight latent complexes. In platelets, the large latent TGF-beta 1 complex is composed of three components: mature TGF-beta 1 dimer; latency associated peptide; and a latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP) (1-3).The cDNAs for four binding proteins (LTBP-1, -2, -3 and -4) have now been cloned (4-5).
