BIO-013077-01 is a pyrazole TGF-β inhibitor[1].A wide range of cellular functions such as cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, migration, and apoptosis are regulated by TGF-β superfamily members. The TGF-βs include the three major TGF-β isoforms, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 which are expressed in mammals. TGF-β transduces signals through a complex of two related but structurally and functionally distinct serine/threonine kinase receptors, termed type 1 and type II. Deregulation of TGF-β signaling has been also implicated in various human diseases including cancer, pancreatic diseases, and hematological malignancies[1].

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
