Further Information
Accession:
P01133
Alternative Names:
Pro-Epidermal Growth Factor; EGF; Epidermal Growth Factor; Urogastrone
Apparent Molecular Weight:
11 KDa, reducing conditions
Background:
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a small 53 amino acid residue long protein that contains three disulfide bridges. It is a small mitogenic protein that is thought to be involved in mechanisms such as normal cell growth, oncogenesis, and wound healing. EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. This protein shows both strong sequential and functional homology with human type-alpha transforming growth factor (hTGF alpha), which is a competitor for EGF receptor sites.
Biological Activity:
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using BALB/c 3T3 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 60-450 pg/ml.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.001 ng/ug (0.01 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
Molecular Weight:
6.2 KDa
Purity:
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Redissolve:
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml.
Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.?
