Human Recombinant HBEGF, STEMCELL Technologies (CAT#: STEM-CT-0879-ZJF)

Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HBEGF) is a member of the EGF family (Nishi & Klagsbrun). HBEGF promotes blastocyst adhesion to the uterine wall (Iwamoto & Mekada). It also plays a role in smooth muscle cell hyperplasia and brain injury (Nishi & Klagsburn). HBEGF produced by CD4+ T cells promotes wound healing by stimulating migration and proliferation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells (Blotnick et al.). It binds to EGFR, ErbB4, ErbB2, and ErbB3, activating the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade (Iwamoto & Mekada). HBEGF is produced in a variety of cells, where it contributes to physiological and pathological processes. HBEGF is overexpressed in ovarian, breast, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers, which likely contributes to pathogenesis (Miyata et al.).
