products description :
Heparin-binding EGF-like Growth Factor (HB-EGF) is an EGF family growth factor that is synthesized as a transmembrane precursor (proHB-EGF). ProHB-EGF, which contains one EGF-like domain, is subject to variable O-linked glycosylation and N-terminal truncation. In human, this precursor is the cellular receptor for diphtheria toxin. ADAM12 or ADAM17-mediated cleavage of proHB-EGF releases a 22 kD soluble HB-EGF; the cytoplasmic fragment functions as a transcriptional repressor. HB-EGF directly activates EGF R and ErbB4 and promotes the development of many tissues. Human HB-EGF shares 77% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat HB-EGF.

uniprot summary :
HBEGF: Growth factor that mediates its effects via EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4. Required for normal cardiac valve formation and normal heart function. Promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation. May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts, but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF. Also acts as a diphtheria toxin receptor. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Cell surface. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q23. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; extracellular region.
