TGFbeta receptor III, Polyclonal Antibody should be stored at -20ºC. Aliquot to avoid freeze/thaw cycles

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Exalpha they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

Recombinant protein derived from the extracellular domain of the chicken TGF III receptor protein. Protein shares significant homology with the mouse, rat and human sequences.

Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.

The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g. a change in the electrical-activity of a cell. In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g. an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine. However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
