HB-EGF (animal free), human recombinant
Heparin Binding EGF-like Growth Factor (HB-EGF) is a growth factor expressed by monocytes and macrophages. HB-EGF mediates its effects via EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4 and has higher binding affinity to the EGFR than EGF itself. It is a mitogen for fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, but not endothelial cells. HB-EGF is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 87 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 9.9 kDa.

HBEGF, Diphtheria toxin receptor, DT-R
-20°C
Produced using animal free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ideal for researchers concerned about the risks and effects of contaminating viruses, prions and trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients used in standard recombinant protein production techniques. Endotoxin levels are less than 1.0 EU per ug protein via LAL. Bioactivity is comparable to recombinant protein produced in traditional techniques.
