Human recombinant Amphiregulin (from E. coli)

Amphiregulin (AR) is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family.

Animal-free
Produced from genetically modified E. coli
Monomeric protein, containing 87 amino acids
Promotes ductal outgrowth and mammary branching
Up-regulated at puberty
Functions as a mitogen and prevents hepatocyte apoptosis in liver

AR is an autocrine growth factor and functions to regulate cell proliferation and survival through binding the EGF receptor (EGFR). In a cancer, AR protects against human adenocarcinoma apoptosis, promotes tumor cell growth, and functions as an oncogenic factor in the hippo pathway. AR levels are increased in the brain following stress events, such as inflammation, ischemia, and hypoxia. It also promotes the proliferation of neural stem cells and epithelial cells, including keratinocytes and mammary epithelium.
