Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse BALB/c 3T3 cells and is typically less than 0.1 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Epidermal Growth Factor purity was determined to be greater than 97% as determined by analysis by HpLC, UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of epithelial and epidermal cells. EGF family members are characterized by three intramolecular disulfide bonds and can bind to four different receptor tyrosine kinases known as EGFR/ErbB1, ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. Recombinant mouse EGF is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 54 amino acids, including 3 intra-molecular disulfide-bonds, with a molecular weight of 6.2 kDa.
