Active Recombinant Human HBEGF Protein

• Cat.No.: HBEGF-269H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human HBEGF Protein without tag was expressed in CHO.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: CHO
• Description: Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), also known as DTR, DTS and HEGFL, is a member of the EGF family of mitogens. It is expressed in macrophages, monocytes, endothelial cells and muscle cells. HB-EGF signals through the EGF receptor to stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells and keratinocytes. Compared to EGF, HB-EGF binds the EGF receptor with higher affinity and is thus more mitogenic, probably due to its ability to bind to heparin and heparin sulfate proteoglycans. HB-EGF has been reported to act as a diphtheria toxin receptor, mediating endocytosis of the bound toxin.
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Bio-activity: ED50 < 0.5 ng/mL, measured in a cell proliferation assay using 3T3 cells.
• Molecular Mass: 12-14 kDa, observed by reducing SDS-PAGE.
• AA Sequence: DLQEADLDLLRVTLSSKPQALATPNKEEHGKRKKKGKGLGKKRDPCLRKYKDFCIHGECKYVKELRAPSCICHPGYHGERCHGLSL
• Endotoxin: < 0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
• Purity: > 95% as analyzed by SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
• Storage: Lyophilized recombinant Human HB-EGF remains stable up to 6 months at -80 centigrade from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, Human HB-EGF should be stable up to 1 week at 4 centigrade or up to 2 months at -20 centigrade.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS.
• Reconstitution: Reconstituted in ddH2O or PBS at 100 μg/mL.
