Human Recombinant EGF (from E. coli)
PRSI91-020
:
- Pk:50 µG
- Protein/peptide type:Recombinant
- Source:E. coli
- Species:Human
- Storage conditions:Lyophilized protein should be stored at −20 °C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7 °C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at −20 °C for 3 months.
- Biological activity:ED50 is less than 2 ng/ml as calculated by the dose-dependent proliferation of murine BALB/c 3T3 cells.
- Protein synonyms:Urogastrone|Epidermal Growth Factor|EGF|Pro-Epidermal Growth Factor
- Protein/peptide name:EGF
- Purity:> 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE
- Molecular weight:6.2 kD
- Sequence:Asn971-Arg1023
- Formulation:Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 200mM NaCl, pH 7.0. Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the Lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Tested applications:Bioassay
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a small mitogenic protein that is thought to be involved in mechanisms such as normal cell growth, oncogenesis, and wound healing. This protein shows both strong sequential and functional homology with human type-alpha transforming growth factor (hTGF alpha), which is a competitor for EGF receptor sites. EGF is a small 53 amino acid residue long protein that contains three disulfide bridges
- This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only.
