EGF proteins act as potent stimulators of growth in a variety of epidermal and epithelial tissues in both in vivo and in vitro settings, while promoting the proliferation of specific fibroblasts in cell culture. This multifaceted protein also acts as a magnesium stimulating hormone, driving magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal tubule through engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. EGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived EGF protein, expressed by HEK293, with N-His labeled tag.
