EGF

Alternative Names: EGF, URG, Urogastrone

Epidermal growth factor influences cell differentiation and stimulates cell division. It is thought to be initially a membrane-bound molecule that is cleaved to form a 53-amino acid peptide hormone. EGF promotes the growth of epidermal, epithelial, and some fibroblast cells.

Product Description

Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor (rhEGF) is a protein that belongs to the epidermal growth factor family. It plays a key role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. With a molecular weight of approximately 6 kDa, rhEGF is commonly used in research and therapeutic applications for its ability to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. Its potent mitogenic properties make it a valuable tool in studying cellular processes and developing novel treatments for various medical conditions.

Storage Instruction

Lyophilized Epidermal Growth Factor Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution EGF 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 (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Epidermal Growth Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
