Tissue Specificity: Expressed in kidney, salivary gland, cerebrum and prostate. .

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: human EGF ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for EGF has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E.coli, N971-R1023) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for EGF is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human EGF amount of sample captured in plate.

Assay Procedure:

Aliquot 0.1 mL per well of the 300pg/mL, 150pg/mL, 75pg/mL, 37.5pg/mL, 18.8pg/mL, 9.4pg/mL, 4.7pg/mL human EGF standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 mL of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 mL of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum, plasma( heparin, EDTA, citrate) or urine to each empty well. See "Sample Dilution Guideline" above for details. It is recommended that each human EGF standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.

Target Details for EGF

Target: EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF))

Alternative Name: EGF

Background:

Protein Function: EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Magnesiotropic hormone that stimulates magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal convoluted tubule via engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. Can induce neurite outgrowth in motoneurons of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis in vitro (PubMed:10964941). .

Background: Epidermal growth factor or EGF is a growth factor that plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor EGFR. Human EGF is a 6045-Da protein with 53 amino acid residues and three intramolecular disulfide bonds. EGF acts by binding with high affinity to epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) on the cell surface and stimulating the intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor. EGF results in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It also 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. EGF has strong expression in kidney, salivary gland, cerebrum, and prostate, moderate expression in trachea and thyroid, and low expression in bone marrow, heart, spleen, thymus, uterus, and colon. No expression was detected in adrenal gland, liver, lung, cerebellum, placenta, and small intestine.
