GoldBio growth factors are manufactured for RESEARCH USE ONLY and cannot be sold for human consumption!Recombinant Murine Heparin-binding EGF-like Growth FactorHeparin-binding EGFHEGFLDiphtheria Toxin Receptor (DTR) Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HBEGF) is synthesized as a transmembrane precursor that is cleaved by a protease to release HBEGF as the ectodomain. Its expression stimulates neurogenesis and is increased after the brain experiences cerebral hypoxia. HBEGF is known to participate in a variety of normal physiological processes such as blastocyst implantation and wound healing, as well as in pathological processes such as tumor growth, SMC hyperplasia and atherosclerosis. HBEGF is a glycoprotein exhibiting mitogenic and chemotactic activity in smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
