PresentationLyophilized from sterile filtered 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5, containing no additives.
Quality LevelMQ100
Applications
ApplicationThe Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal & epithelial cells.
Application NotesFor most in vitro applications, EGF exerts its biological activity in the concentration range of 0.5 to 25.0 ng/mL. Responding cells are (partial list): Epidermal mesothelial cells.
Biological Information
PurityGreater than 98% by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/μg) of EGF.
SourceE.coli
Specific ActivityHuman EGF is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, as determined by its dose-dependent mitogenic activity on BALB/c 3T3 cells, is ≤ 0.1 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 1 x 10^7 units/mg.
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryEpidermal growth factor has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane-bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide.
Gene Symbol
  • EGF

Storage and Shipping Information
Storage ConditionsThe lyophilized EGF, though stable at room temperature, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstitute with water to a concentration of 0.1 - 1 mg/mL. This solution can be diluted into other buffered solutions and stored at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for future use. Reconstituted EGF should be maintained at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to one year.
