Biological Activity

Description

EGF Protein, Rat (CHO) is a potent epidermal growth factor, promotes epithelial proliferation and migration, and increases epithelial wound closure and shortens healing time.

Background

Epidermal Growth Factor is secreted by epithelial cells, promotes epithelial proliferation and migration in a variety of tissues, and increases epithelial wound closure and shortens healing time[1]. Epidermal Growth Factor plays a key role in skin development and homeostasis, shows a protective function in the epidermal barrier. Epidermal Growth Factor also displays an immunomodulatory activity in the inflamed skin tissue[2].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 is <0.1 ng/mL as measured by 3T3 cells.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.

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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
