CytoGrow™ Recombinant EGF (Porcine), CHO, Tag Free
Recombinant porcine epidermal growth factor (EGF) is produced in CHO cells in a tag-free format, ensuring proper folding and biologically relevant post-translational modifications. EGF is a well-characterized growth factor that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation across a variety of cell types.
Porcine EGF binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), activating downstream signaling pathways such as MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT. These pathways promote cellular proliferation, survival, and migration. Due to its high sequence homology and biological activity, porcine EGF is widely used as an effective alternative to human EGF in many in vitro applications. Recombinant EGF is commonly utilized in cell culture systems, epithelial cell expansion, stem cell maintenance, and tissue regeneration studies.
