Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a 6 kilodalton protein belonging to the EGF-protein family. EGF binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and stimulates cell growth and differentiation. In humans, this protein is made of 53 amino acid residues and its tertiary structure is held together by 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds. Researchers first identified EGF in human urine and mice submaxillary glands as a secreted protein. Since then, EGF has been found in tears, saliva, milk, plasma, and tissues, including the parotid gland and submandibular gland-urogastrone or its trade name Heberprot-P.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) also known as urogastrone is a small polypeptide (6 kilodalton) secreted by certain epithelial cells in the digestive tract, salivary glands, mammary glands and kidney. EGF may play several roles in human tissue growth and cell differentiation. Epidermal growth factor stimulates angiogenesis and epithelial cell growth. This polypeptide is found in tears, saliva, and milk, where it acts as a regulator of the immune system and an anti-inflammatory agent, egf growth factor activates multiple pathways related to carcinogenesis, including mitogenic signaling via protein kinase A (PKA), extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) cascades, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade activation.
