Human EGF is a strong mitogen for endodermal, ectodermal, and mesodermal cells. It was found in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, breast milk, saliva, gastric and pancreatic juices. Human EGF is mainly synthesized in salivary glands. Human EGF also stimulates the proliferation of embryonic cells and the increase of calcium release from osseous tissue. It stimulates bone resorption and is a strong chemoattractant for fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Human EGF itself and in combination with other cytokines is the most important factor promoting the processes of wound healing and angiogenesis. This protein is from Human.
