Product Overview

Overview

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a representative growth factor that promotes cell growth and proliferation. It binds to EGFR to induce cell differentiation and signal transduction, and is involved in the recovery of skin and epithelial tissue. This recombinant EGF is produced through an E. coli expression system, offering high purity and stable activity for application in a wide range of research and formulation contexts.
