{"product_id":"abm222433","title":"Recombinant Human Epiregulin","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBackground\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpiregulin encoded by the EREG gene in humans, is a member of the EGF family of growth factors. This family also includes epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha, amphiregulin (ARG), HB (heparin-binding)-EGF, betacellulin, and the various heregulins. Epiregulin is expressed mainly in the placenta and peripheral blood leukocytes and in certain carcinomas of the bladder, lung, kidney and colon. It stimulates the proliferation of keratinocytes, hepatocytes, fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. Additionally, it inhibits the growth of several tumor-derived epithelial cell lines. Human Epiregulin is initially synthesized as a glycosylated 19.0 kDa transmembrane precursor protein, which is processed by proteolytic cleavage to produce a 6.0 kDa mature secreted sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eExpression system\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eEscherichia coli.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePurity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u0026gt; 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eApproximately 5.6 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 49 amino acids.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eLess than 1 EU\/μg of rHuEpiregulin as determined by LAL method.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eForm\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
