Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor(rhEGF)

CAS No.: Request for quotation

Name: Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor (rhEGF)

Introduction:
rhEGF is a soluble non carbohydrate protein, which contains 53 amino acids. The composition, sequence and peptide map of rhEGF are strictly accord with the natural hEGF. The Amino acid sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Asn-Ser-Asp-Ser-Glu, which agrees with the sequence of native human EGF. N-terminal methionine has been completely removed enzymatically.

Molecular weight: 6216Da
Characteristics: White powder, PH 6.5-7.5, Isoelectric point 4.6, acid tolerance(PH=1.0), stable when heated.

Bioactivity: 1.00X106 IU/mg protein Min
Purity: 95% Min and 98%(HPLC and SDS-PAGE analysis)Min

Expression and purification system:
With the application of a high-effective secretive expression system of Escherichia coli, target protein was secreted directly into the culture medium after membrane modification. Extremely high bioactivity achieved due to the remaining of advanced protein structures. By using full sets of premium separation and purification system, purity of the production reached above 95%, and the highest can be above 98%.

Application:
rhEGF can promote the treatments of the wounds of skin and cornea, and has the potential of repairing wounds in alimentary tract, kidney, liver, lung and trachea. It can be used in the treatments of burns, all kings of surgical and postoperative wounds and the injury or ulcer of cornea. Recommended concentration - 0.1-1.0 ng/ml medium depending on cell type

rhEGF can enhance the growth of new epidermal and stem cells, promote the cell's metabolism and converse differentiation. It is widely used in cosmetics such as whitening, anti-crinkle, crinkle dispelling, anti-aging, etc.

Biological Activity:
ProSpec's recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of murine BALB/c 3T3 cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is less then 0.1 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 1 x 1000000 Units/mg.

Storage:
2-8℃(in refrigerator) storage, stable within 36 months.

Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/μg (IEU/μg) of recombinant EGF.

Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:

1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 2.858 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of human EGF as a Reference Standard.

Package:
Ultra-pure 98%: 10, 20, 50, 100 g freeze-dried powder
High-pure 95%: 100g-1g freeze-dried powder
Customer's package available

Duration:
Stable for at least three months at 2° to 8°C (lyophilized) or ≥three months at -20°C (solubilized). Do not store in frost-free freezer. Avoid multiple freeze-thaws
