Animal-Free Recombinant Human EGF

Product Details

Catalog Number: AF-100-15
Description:
Animal-Free Recombinant Human EGF

EGF is a potent growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of various epidermal and epithelial cells. Additionally, EGF has been shown to inhibit gastric secretion, and to be involved in wound healing. EGF signals through a receptor known as c-erbB, which is a class I tyrosine kinase receptor. This receptor also binds with TGF-α and VGF (vaccinia virus growth factor). Recombinant Human EGF is a 6.2 kDa globular protein containing 53 amino acid residues, including 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds.

EGF, human basic recombinant, E. coli
Using the EGF for 5 years now in our culture medium and are very satisfied ! Critical cells, but they grow very well with the EGF (and FGF) of Peprotech !

Great recombinant protein
Works very nicely in combination with FGF to keep mouse ESC-derived NPCs alive and proliferating in culture (at 10 ng/ml concentration). Highly recommend.
