EGF (clone 4E11), anti-human

Background:
Epidermal growth factor has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane-bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide.

Research Area: Signal Transduction

Synonyms: URG, HOMG4, EGF

Immunogen: Purified recombinant fragment of human EGF expressed in E. Coli.

Formulation: Ascitic fluid containing 0.03% sodium azide.

Storage:
4°C|-20°C for long term storage
