Human EGF protein

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a small growth factor containing 53 amino acid residues that promotes the proliferation of mesenchymal and epidermal cells. Mature proteins, much smaller than 53aa, are produced by protein hydrolysis in the proximal EGF domain across the membrane. EGF is well preserved in mammals, and the EGF in mature humans is 70% the same as that in mice and mice. EGF and fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf-2) induce the proliferation of neural precursor cells isolated from specific parts of the embryonic and adult brain. EGF and somatopodin c supplemental medium were substituted for 5% thrombocytopenic anemia plasma (PPP) and had the ability to inhibit BALB/C-3T3 cell density. The biological activities of EGF include epithelium formation, angiogenesis, inhibition of gastric acid secretion, proliferation of fibroblasts, and colony formation of epidermal cells in culture.

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/c 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.004 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant Human EGF is approximately >2.5 x 108IU/mg.

Lyophilized protein product should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (5% HSA , 10%FBS or 0.1%BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles

The recombinant human EGF consisting of 54 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 6.35 kDa as estimated in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant human EGF protein to a concentration of 0.1-1 mg/mL in sterile ddH2O, and keep at room temperature for at least 20 min to fully dissolve. Please avoid vortex vigorously
