Product Introduction
Human epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a protein produced using genetic engineering techniques. Upon binding to its specific receptor, EGFR, on the cell surface, EGF triggers a series of biochemical reactions within the cell. These include increasing intracellular calcium ion concentrations, promoting glycolysis, and enhancing protein synthesis. Additionally, it can upregulate the expression of specific genes, such as EGFR, thereby promoting DNA synthesis and cell proliferation.
