EGF (Epidermal growth factor), Mouse
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates cell growth and differentiation by binding to its receptor, EGFR. Human EGF is a 6-kDa protein with 53 amino acid residues and three intramolecular disulfide bonds. EGF is present in various body fluids, including blood, milk, urine, saliva, seminal fluid, pancreatic juice, cerebrospinal fluid, and amniotic fluid. Biological activities ascribed to EGF include epithelial development, angiogenesis, inhibition of gastric acid secretion, fibroblast proliferation, and colony formation of epidermal cells in culture.
Sequence:
MNSYPGCPSSYDGYCLNGGVCMHIESLDSYTCNCVIGYSGDRCQTRDLRWWELR with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus
UnitProt ID:
P01132
Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <80 pg/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse EGF is approximately >1x 107 IU/mg.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Form:
Lyophilized
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Stability & Storage:
This product is stable after storage at:
• -20°C for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
• -20°C or -80°C for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Shipping Conditions:
Blue ice
