Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Recombinant human Epidermal Growth Factor is small polypeptide of 6.2 kDa protein containing 53 amino acid residues. The EGF gene encodes for a large type I membrane–anchored precursor protein which is cleaved into pro-EGF for generation of peptide hormone EGF. EGF can be found in human platelets, macrophages, urine, saliva, milk, and plasma.

Azioni biochim/fisiol

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a growth factor that plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor EGFR. Biological activities ascribed to EGF include epithelial development, angiogenesis, inhibition of gastric acid secretion, fibroblast proliferation, and colony formation of epidermal cells in culture.
