Cell Culture, Control, ELISA, ELISpot Control, Western Blot Control
100% Homology:
Mus musculus (house mouse)
  • Mouse EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) (catalog RP1243M) is a yeast-derived growth factor supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~6.0 kDa, 53 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to house mouse. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study EGF signaling and cellular processes (including regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and dosing studies, growth and signaling assays, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation. Kingfisher Biotech products are supplied for research applications and are not intended for medicinal, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

Mouse EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) is a growth factor peptide belonging to the EGF family of ligands, which also includes transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), amphiregulin (AREG), heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), betacellulin (BTC), and epiregulin (EREG) that signal through the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1) to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair. In mice (Mus musculus), EGF is produced by epithelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, and glandular tissues such as the submandibular (salivary) glands, which are a major source of circulating EGF in this species. Binding of EGF to EGFR activates intracellular signaling pathways including MAPK/ERK, PI3K–AKT, and JAK/STAT, promoting cell proliferation, survival, and tissue regeneration following injury or during development. Mouse EGF plays important roles in skin homeostasis, gastrointestinal epithelial maintenance, and organ development. Mice are one of the most widely used animal models for studying EGFR signaling and epithelial biology, and EGF has been extensively studied in mouse models of skin wound healing and epithelial regeneration, where EGFR-mediated signaling regulates keratinocyte proliferation, migration, and repair of damaged skin tissue. These studies have been critical for understanding growth factor signaling pathways and their roles in tissue repair and cancer biology.
