Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Supplier: Invitrogen™ 500P277BT500UG

Description
AA Sequence of recombinant protein: MNSNTGCPPS YDGYCLNGGV CMYVESVDRY VCNCVIGYIG ERCQHRDLRW WKLR. Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Rat EGF. Anti-Rat EGF-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Rat EGF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Rat EGF (500-P277) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant Rat EGF. Western Blot: To detect Rat EGF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.5-1.0 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant Rat EGF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. 500-P277BT-1MG will be provided as 2 x 500 μg
EGF (Epidermal growth factor) exerts its actions by binding to the EGF Receptor, a 170 kDa protein kinase. Activation of EGFR initiates diverse cellular pathways in response to toxic environmental stimuli, or to EGF binding to the receptor, the EGFR forms homo- or heterodimers with other family members. Each dimeric receptor complex initiates a distinct signaling pathway by recruiting different Src homology 2 (SH2) containing effector proteins. EGF is far and wide expressed in kidney, cerebrum, prostrate and salivary glands. EGF acts as a potent mitogenic factor and the phosphorylated receptor recruits adapter proteins like GRB2 that activates complex downstream signaling cascades. EGF activates at least 4 major downstream signaling cascades including the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, PLCgamma-PKC and STAT modules. Research studies suggest the protein may also play important role in activating the NF-kappa-B signaling cascade. Defects in the EGGF gene are the cause of hypomagnesemia type 4 and dysregulation has been associated with the growth and progression of certain cancers.
