HB-EGF protein is a multifunctional growth factor that is regulated through EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4 and is critical for cardiac valve formation and cardiac function. It promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation and may contribute to macrophage-mediated cell proliferation. HB-EGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived HB-EGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Description

HB-EGF protein is a multifunctional growth factor that is regulated through EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4 and is critical for cardiac valve formation and cardiac function. It promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation and may contribute to macrophage-mediated cell proliferation. HB-EGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived HB-EGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

HB-EGF Protein, a versatile growth factor, exerts its regulatory effects through EGFR, ERBB2, and ERBB4. Crucial for cardiac valve formation and normal heart function, HB-EGF plays a pivotal role in promoting smooth muscle cell proliferation and may contribute to macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. Exhibiting mitogenic properties for fibroblasts while sparing endothelial cells, HB-EGF distinguishes itself by binding to EGF receptor/EGFR with greater affinity than EGF, emerging as a more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells. Beyond its proliferative role, HB-EGF serves as a diphtheria toxin receptor and engages in interactions with FBLN1. The multifaceted interactions of HB-EGF with EGFR and ERBB4 underscore its central role in cellular regulation and cardiovascular development.

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.
