NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
binds the epidermal growth factor receptor; may play a role in MAP kinase mediated signaling pathways [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
EGF: EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Magnesiotropic hormone that stimulates magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal convoluted tubule via engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. Defects in EGF are the cause of hypomagnesemia type 4 (HOMG4); also known as renal hypomagnesemia normocalciuric. HOMG4 is a disorder characterized by massive renal hypomagnesemia and normal levels of serum calcium and calcium excretion. Clinical features include seizures, mild-to mederate psychomotor retardation, and brisk tendon reflexes. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Rat Egf egf (Catalog #AAA2882784) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2882784 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat Egf. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pro-epidermal growth factor, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
