Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | Urogastrone, URG, EGF. |
Background | Epidermal growth factor has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane-bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide. EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Long EGF is a recombinant analog of Human EGF developed as a replacement for use in therapeutic cell culture applications as a like-for-like supplement for Recombinant Human or native EGF. It includes the Human EGF amino acid sequence plus a 53 amino acid N-terminal extension peptide. |
Description | Recombinant Human EGF Long expressed in E.coli cells is a single non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 106a.a. and having a molecular weight of 12.3kDa. The EGF Long is purified by unique purification methods. |

Purity | >95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine Balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 x 106 IU/mg. |
Formulation | The EGF Long was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 10mM HCl. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized EGF Long although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution EGF Long should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
