| Introduction | HB-EGF is an EGF related growth factor which signals via the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of SMC (smooth muscle cells), fibroblasts, epithelial cells and keratinocytes. HB-EGF is expressed in various cell types and tissues, including vascular endothelial cells and SMC, macrophages, skeletal muscle, keratinocytes and particular tumor cells. HB-EGF’s ability to explicitly bind heparin and heparin sulfate proteoglycans is dissimilar from other EGF-like molecules, and might be related to the enhanced mitogenic activity, relative to EGF, that HB-EGF exerts on smooth muscle cells. | 
| Synonyms | Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, DTR, HEGFL, diphtheria toxin receptor (heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor), DTSF, proheparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor. | 
| Source | Escherichia Coli. | 
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. | 
| Formulation | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 1xPBS pH-7.4. | 
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Mouse HB-EGF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 | 
| Stability | Lyophilized Mouse HB-EGF Recombinant althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution HB-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. |
