Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rat EGF in sterile water not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | ||
Stability | Lyophilized Rat EGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C . Upon reconstitution Rat EGF 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. | ||
Biological Activity | The ED50 as calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of murine BALB/c 3T3 cells is less than 0.1ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 10,000,000 units/mg. | ||
Formulation | Rat EGF was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated (1.0mg/ml) solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
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.
