Recombinant, human epidermal growth factor (54 amino acids) expressed in E. coli. Identical to human EGF except for an additional N-terminal methionine. Human EGF is 70% homologous to mouse EGF and has been shown to have similar biological activity. Mitogenic for a wide range of ectoderm- and endoderm-derived cells from tissue such as breast, cornea, epidermis, dermis, liver, pancreas, nerve, amnion, and adrenal medulla. Acts as a survival factor in preventing apoptosis.
