Related Product Information for HB-EGF recombinant protein

Recombinant Human HB-EGF (Heparin Binding EGF) was expressed in E Coli cells. The protein accession number is Q99075
Human HBEGF (Heparin Binding EGF like growth factor) is a member of the EGF family of peptide growth factors that signal through the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and keratinocytes. HBEGF is expressed in many cell types and tissues, including bronchial epithelium, visceral and vascular smooth muscle, CD4+ T cells, glomerular podocytes, keratinocytes, macrophages and certain tumor cells. Mature HBEGF is a soluble peptide that arises from the proteolytic processing of the 208 amino acid type-I transmembrane form and exhibits the ability to specifically bind heparin and heparin sulfate proteoglycans.

Uniprot Description

HBEGF: Growth factor that mediates its effects via EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4. Required for normal cardiac valve formation and normal heart function. Promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation. May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts, but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF. Also acts as a diphtheria toxin receptor.
