Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

HumanKine® GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) recombinant proteins are manufactured and validated in accordance with ISO 13485 quality management system and is compliant with GMP.
Our GMP recombinant proteins are animal component free (ACF), xeno free (XF) and tag free (TF). Read more about these policies here.

Background

EGF (epidermal growth factor) is a 6 kDA, single chain protein that serves a mitogenic factor for numerous cell types, particularly epithelial cells and fibroblasts. It is predominantly produced and secreted by the kidneys in humans. EGF activates cells through binding with its corresponding receptor (EGFR). Receptor binding activates several downstream pathways leading to cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. EGF plays important roles in embryonic development, tissue regeneration, transport through ion channels, and wound healing. Dysregulated EGF signaling has been linked with renal disease progression, and EGF levels could potentially be used as biomarker to monitor disease-related cell damage (PMID: 15110798, 24513230, 27868030).
