Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 130-210
Specificity
HBEGF Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
Constitute
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
Source
Polyclonal, Rabbit,IgG
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000
Purification process
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptors with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF. Also acts as a diphtheria toxin receptor.,PTM:O-linked glycan attachment sites were determined by Edman degradation, O-glycanase digest suggests mucin-type glycosylation (done in HB-EGF purified from histiocytic lymphoma cell line U-937).,PTM:Several N-termini have been identified by direct sequencing. The forms with N-termini 63, 73 and 74 have been tested and found to be biologically active.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,subcellular location:Mature HB-EGF is released into the extracellular space and probably binds to a receptor.,
