Based on 107 publication(s) in Google Scholar

EGF proteins act as potent stimulators of growth in a variety of epidermal and epithelial tissues in both in vivo and in vitro settings, while promoting the proliferation of specific fibroblasts in cell culture. This multifaceted protein also acts as a magnesium stimulating hormone, driving magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal tubule through engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. EGF Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived EGF protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Description

EGF proteins act as potent stimulators of growth in a variety of epidermal and epithelial tissues in both in vivo and in vitro settings, while promoting the proliferation of specific fibroblasts in cell culture. This multifaceted protein also acts as a magnesium stimulating hormone, driving magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal tubule through engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. EGF Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived EGF protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Background

EGF Protein emerges as a potent stimulator of the growth of diverse epidermal and epithelial tissues in both in vivo and in vitro environments, along with fostering the proliferation of specific fibroblasts in cell culture. This multifaceted protein also acts as a magnesiotropic hormone, driving magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal convoluted tubule through the engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. Notably, EGF Protein possesses the capability to induce neurite outgrowth in motoneurons of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis in vitro. Its molecular interactions include binding to EGFR, thereby promoting EGFR dimerization, and interacting with RHBDF2, suggesting involvement in diverse cellular processes. Furthermore, EGF Protein engages with RHBDF1, potentially influencing the retention of EGF in the endoplasmic reticulum and regulating its degradation through endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD).

In Vitro

EGF Protein, Human (0-500 ng/mL, 72 h) promotes the proliferation of NIH 3T3 cells[3].

In Vivo

EGF Protein (Human) (10 μg/g, cream, a single dose for 7 days) reduces inflammatory infiltrate and results in wound re-epithelialization in rats with full thicknessskin wounds[1].
EGF Protein (Human) (50 μg/g, cream, every 24 h for 7 days) significantly stimulates re-epithelialization at high levels, preferably in combination with a protease inhibitor in pigs with thickness wounds on the back[1].
EGF Protein (Human) (30 μg/kg, s.c., daily for 3 weeks) attenuates the oesophageal damage normally caused by the sclerotherapy (surgical dilation of the oesophagus) procedure in Gottingen minipigs[1].

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
