Descripciòn

EGF Protein, Mouse is a growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of the epidermis and several epithelial tissues.

Background

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to epidermal growth factor receptor and stimulates an intracellular signal transduction cascade, leading to activation of genes that regulate cell proliferation, angiogenesis, motility, and metastasis[1]. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is initially synthesized as a large precursor of 1217 amino acids that is glycosylated and can be secreted by cells. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) mRNA and protein are expressed in a number of adult tissues, especially in epithelial cells in the gastrointestinal tract. Predominant sites of synthesis of this peptide are the submandibular glands, the Brunner glands in the small intestine and the kidney[2].

Verified Bioactivity

1. The ED50 is <0.1 ng/mL as measured by BALB/c 3T3 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >1.0 × 107 units/mg.
2. Mouse EGFR protein immobilized on CM5 Chip can bind Mouse EGF with an affinity constant of 15.2nM as determined in SPR assay.

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol, 0.01% Tween 80.
3.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

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.
