They regulate cell growth, differentiation, and responses by binding to corresponding receptors and modulating immune responses. KACTUS has developed a full portfolio of tag-free or small-tag cytokines with verified cellular-level bioactivity for various cell culture applications including stem cells, immune cells, and organoid culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading clear\">Explore Their Comprehensive Cytokine &amp; Receptor Catalogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>KACTUS have developed a catalogue selection of high-quality cytokines covering various categories, including interleukins (IL), colony-stimulating factors (CSF) and growth factors (GF). These products can be applied in organoid culture, maintenance of cell growth in vitro for immune cell therapy, and stem cell proliferation and differentiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group

FGFR is a branch of the tyrosinase receptor family, which is a type I transmembrane protein usually functioning as a dimer. Among them, the extracellular domain contains three Ig-like regions D1 (IgI), D2 (IgII), and D3 (IgIII), of which D1 and the Acidic box form an autoinhibitory region, and D2 and D3 are responsible for ligand binding (D2 and cell surface Heparan sulfate is combined, D3 has two forms of IIIb and IIIc due to alternative splicing, and only one isoform of IIIc is currently found in FGFR4). According to the number of Ig-like domains, FGFR can be divided into two forms, one is \u03b1-type, which contains three regions of IgI, IgII, and IgIII; the other is \u03b2-type, which only contains IgII and IgIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KACTUS has analysed the structural differences of FGFR family proteins and successfully prepared various types of FGFR recombinant proteins, covering \u03b1 and \u03b2 isoforms, as well as different forms such as IIIb and IIIc,&nbsp;supporting the differentiated research of FGFR-targeted drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>FGFR1 alpha<\/td><td>FGFR1 beta<\/td><td>FGFR2 alpha<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FGFR2 beta<\/td><td>FGFR3 alpha<\/td><td>FGFR3 beta<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FGFR4<\/td><td>FGFR4 beta<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons clear is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caltagmedsystems.co.uk\/pricing_ordering\/?group_1=All&amp;group_2=All&amp;supplier=154&amp;clonality=All&amp;host=All&amp;species=All&amp;applications=All&amp;regulatory_status=All&amp;searchwords=FGFR\" style=\"color:#fbc100;background-color:#21318f\"><strong>Browse all FGFRs<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TNFRS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor (TNFR) proteins play a pivotal role in regulating immune responses and mediating apoptosis. These receptors, found on the surface of various cell types, bind to tumour necrosis factors (TNFs) to trigger a cascade of cellular events that can lead to inflammation, cell proliferation, or programmed cell death. At KACTUS, their high-quality TNFR proteins are expressed to ensure maximum efficacy and reliability in research and therapeutic applications. Their TNFR product line includes a diverse range of receptors suitable for studies in immunology, cancer research, and therapeutic development, providing researchers with essential tools to advance their understanding of TNF-related pathways and their implications in various diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>BCMA \/ TNFRSF17<\/td><td>CD40 \/ TNFRSF5<\/td><td>OX40 \/ CD134 \/ TNFRSF4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CD27 \/ TNFRSF7<\/td><td>4-1BB \/ TNFRSF9<\/td><td>BAFFR \/ TNFRSF13C<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons clear is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caltagmedsystems.co.uk\/pricing_ordering\/?group_1=All&amp;group_2=All&amp;supplier=154&amp;clonality=All&amp;host=All&amp;species=All&amp;applications=All&amp;regulatory_status=All&amp;searchwords=TNFR\" style=\"color:#fbc100;background-color:#21318f\"><strong>Browse all TNFRs<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TGFBRs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-beta) receptor proteins are crucial mediators of cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, and immune regulation. These receptors, located on the cell surface, interact with TGF-beta ligands to initiate signalling pathways that influence a wide array of biological functions, from embryonic development to tissue homeostasis and immune responses. At KACTUS, they offer a comprehensive range of high-quality TGF-beta receptor proteins designed to support cutting-edge research and therapeutic innovations. Their TGF-beta receptors are optimised for consistent performance in various applications, including cancer research, fibrosis studies, and regenerative medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>TGFBR1<\/td><td>TGFBR2<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons clear is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caltagmedsystems.co.uk\/pricing_ordering\/?group_1=All&amp;group_2=All&amp;supplier=154&amp;clonality=All&amp;host=All&amp;species=All&amp;applications=All&amp;regulatory_status=All&amp;searchwords=TGFBR\" style=\"color:#fbc100;background-color:#21318f\"><strong>Browse all TGFBRs<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);background-color:#21318f;color:#21318f\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caltagmedsystems.co.uk\/\">Caltag Medsystems&nbsp;<\/a>is the distributor of&nbsp;KACTUS products in the UK and Ireland.
