Recombinant Human EGF
Recombinant Human EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), also known as Urogastrone, is a classic secreted growth factor of the EGF family. It is produced in an E. coli expression system in a tag-free form, corresponding to the Asn971–Arg1023 amino acid sequence of human EGF precursor protein, totaling 53 amino acids, with three pairs of intramolecular disulfide bonds maintaining its stable conformation. By specifically binding to the EGFR (ErbB1) tyrosine kinase receptor on the cell membrane, EGF induces receptor dimerization and activates downstream signaling pathways including MAPK, PI3K/Akt and PLCγ, and potently promotes the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells, keratinocytes and various mesenchymal cells. It is one of the core basic growth factors in organoid culture systems. It can significantly improve the establishment efficiency, budding capacity and long-term passaging stability of various normal and tumor organoids including intestinal, gastric, hepatic, mammary, pulmonary and cutaneous organoids, and is widely used in stem cell culture, epithelial biology research, wound repair and drug screening. Manufactured under strict quality control and functional validation, this product features high purity, ultra-high specific activity, low endotoxin and excellent batch-to-batch consistency.
