Recombinant human epidermal growth factor,rh-EGF,rhEGF,EGF

Description: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. Human EGF is a 6.2 kDa protein containing 53 amino acid residues.

Source: E. coli

Purity:> 95% SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/ug) of EGF.

Activity:Human EGF is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BALB/c 3T3 cells is < 0.1 ng/mL,corresponding to a specific activity of > 1 x 10(E7) units/mg.

Applications: For most in vitro applications,EGF exerts its biological activity in the concentration range of 0.5 to 25.0 ng/mL.Responding cells are (partial list):
Epidermal mesothelial cells.

Presentation: Lyophilized powder with no additives.
