EPGN is an EGF-related polypeptide growth factor that signals through the ErbB receptor-1. EPGN is produced in numerous tissues, including the testis, liver, heart and in certain tumor cells. EPGN is mitogenic for fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Human EPGN is originally synthesized as a glycosylated 14.7 kDa transmembrane precursor protein, which is processed by proteolytic cleavage to produce a mature soluble sequence.
EPGN produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 97 amino acids (23-110a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 10.8kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 13.5-18kDa).EPGN is expressed with an 9 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

May stimulate the phosphorylation of EGFR and mitogen-activated protein kinases. 7 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Ligand, receptor tyrosine kinaseChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q13.3Cellular Component: extracellular space; integral to plasma membrane; intracellularMolecular Function: epidermal growth factor receptor binding; growth factor activityBiological Process: activation of MAPK activity; angiogenesis; epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; MAPKKK cascade; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor activity; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; positive regulation of MAP kinase activity; positive regulation of mitosis |
| UniProt Protein Details: | |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Members of this family are ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor and play a role in cell survival, proliferation and migration. This protein has been reported to have high mitogenic activity but low affinity for its receptor. Expression of this transcript and protein have been reported in cancer specimens of the breast, bladder, and prostate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
