TGF-β3 is a multifunctional cytokine and member of the TGF-β superfamily.1 TGF-β3 is expressed as a proprotein that is cleaved in the Golgi to form TGF-β3 latency-associated peptide (LAP) and mature TGF-β3.2 TGF-β3 and TGF-β3 LAP remain non-covalently bound until mature TGF-β3 is released from latency by various proteins, including matrix metalloproteinases and plasmin.2,1 Secreted TGF-β3 homodimers induce signaling through activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5), also known as TGF-β receptor type 1 (TGF-βRI), and TGF-β receptor type 2 (TGFBR2) and is involved in embryonic development, epidermal homeostasis, wound healing, bone formation, and involution of excess mammary gland epithelial cells during lactation.1 It increases collagen levels in primary human foreskin fibroblasts.3 High levels of TGF-β3 are associated with disease progression in patients with osteosarcoma.4 Cayman's TGF-β3 Receptor-Binding Domain (human, recombinant) protein is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer, composed of TGF-β3 (amino acids 301-412) fused to human IgG1 Fc at its N-terminus, consists of 373 amino acids and has a calculated molecular weight of 41.2 kDa.
