Product Information
KE00138 is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The EGF ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous EGF. The assay recognizes human EGF. An antibody specific for EGF has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The EGF protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another antibody specific for EGF is added to detect the captured EGF protein. For signal development, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody is added, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

Background Information
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a member of the epidermal growth factor superfamily. EGF preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the 53-amino acid epidermal growth factor peptide. EGF binds to the EGF receptor on the surface of cells and mediates intrinsic phosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine residues. It has been detected in nearly all body fluids, such as urine (urogastrone), saliva, milk and platelet-rich plasma. EGF plays important roles in multiple biological processes, such as the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
