EGF like growth factor involved in cell proliferation

Biomolecule/Target: HB-EGF

Alternates names: Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, HBEGF, DTR, DTS, HEGFL, HB-EGF, Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, Diphtheria toxin receptor, DT-R, DTSF.

Synonyms: Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, HBEGF, DTR, DTS, HEGFL, HB-EGF, Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, Diphtheria toxin receptor, DT-R, DTSF.

Background Information: HB-EGF is an EGF related growth factor which signals via the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of SMC (smooth muscle cells), fibroblasts, epithelial cells and keratinocytes. HB-EGF is expressed in various cell types and tissues, including vascular endothelial cells and SMC, macrophages, skeletal muscle, keratinocytes and particular tumor cells. HB-EGF’s ability to explicitly bind heparin and heparin sulfate proteoglycans is dissimilar from other EGF-like molecules, and might be related to the enhanced mitogenic activity, relative to EGF, that HB-EGF exerts on smooth muscle cells.

Reconstitution Instructions: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human HB-EGF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
