Background
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.
