HBEGF Antibody (Center) western blot analysis in K562 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the HBEGF antibody detected the HBEGF protein (arrow).
Growth factor that mediates its effects via EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4. Required for normal cardiac valve formation and normal heart function. Promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation. May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts, but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR 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
Tissue Specificity
This HBEGF antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 67-96 amino acids from the Central region of human HBEGF.
Cellular Localization
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor: Secreted, extracellular space. Note=Mature HB-EGF is released into the extracellular space and probably binds to a receptor
