Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Human, E. coli Recombinant Protein

Description Our bioactive Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Human, E. coli Recombinant Protein is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 53 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 6.2 kDa. The EGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Summary EGF acts a potent mitogenic factor that plays an important role in the growth, proliferation and differentiation of numerous cell types. This protein acts by binding with high affinity to the cell surface receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Magnesiotropic hormone that stimulates magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal convoluted tubule via engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6.
