epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-162 representing full length Epiregulin of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Epiregulin (EPR, EREG), is an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related growth regulating peptide which exhibits bifunctional properties in the regulation of cell growth (1–5). Epiregulin activates two members of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB4 (1). Epiregulin is a potent vascular smooth muscle cell-derived mitogen induced by angiotensin II, endothelin-1 and thrombin (2). Epiregulin acts as an autocrine growth factor in human epidermal keratinocytes and is part of auto- and cross-induction mechanisms involving HB-EGF, amphiregulin and TGFalpha (3). Epiregulin is upregulated in pancreatic cancer and stimulates pancreatic cancer cell growth (4).
