EGF, Pichia

Alternative Names: EGF, URG, Urogastrone

Epidermal growth factor facilitates cell differentiation and promotes cell division. It is a potent factor for cells of ectodermal and mesodermal origin. EGF is produced as a membrane-bound molecule and is cleaved to produce a 53-amino acid peptide hormone that triggers cell division. EGF stimulates growth in epidermal, epithelial tissues, and some fibroblasts in cell culture.

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.
