Background
Transforming Growth Factors alpha (TGF-α) is a 5.68 kDa member of the epidermal Growth Factors with 51 amino acid residues. TGF-α is mainly expressed from brain, skin, epithelial cell (pancreatic endocrine cells, urothelial cells, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, etc.). TGF-α is a regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation via bind to the EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF β. TGF-α also associates with myriad forms of cancer.
