EGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

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 (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived EGF protein, expressed by HEK293, with N-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

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 (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived EGF protein, expressed by HEK293, with N-His labeled tag.

Background

GMP 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, GMP 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, GMP 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).

Verified Bioactivity

1.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human EGF Protein, His Tag at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human EGF R, Fc Tag.Human EGF Protein, His Tag with the EC50 of 0.1-2.0 ng/mL.
2.Human EGF Protein, His Tag stimulates EGFR (Luc) HEK293 Reporter Cell. The specific activity of Human EGF Protein, His Tag is > 3.00 X 105 IU/mg, which is calibrated against human growth factor EGF WHO International Standard.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4 with 10% trehalose as protectant.

Endotoxin Level

<1 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.
