Clonality: Monoclonal (4E11)

Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA

Catalog no.: ABIN966031

Additional Information

Alternative name: EGF

Gene ID: 1950

Immunogen: Purified recombinant fragment of human EGF expressed in E. Coli.

Isotype: IgG1

Clone: 4E11

Description: 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.
