uniprot entry name :
HBEGF_CHICK
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of HB-EGF-GF. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between HB-EGF-GF and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between HB-EGF-GF and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, Cell Culture Supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 1.0 pg/mL.
other info2 :

products description :
Principle of the assay: HB-EGF-GF ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for HB-EGF-GF. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and HB-EGF-GF if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of HB-EGF-GF present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for HB-EGF-GF are added to each well to “sandwich” the HB-EGF-GF immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain HB-EGF-GF and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The HB-EGF-GF concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

uniprot summary :
Function: May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptors with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF. By similarity. Plays an important role in the proper development of cranial nerves by inhibting the migration of the cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) migration into the odd-numbered neuromeres (r3 and r5) of the hindbrain. Plays a role in mediating v-Jun-induced oncogenic transformation. Ref.1 Ref.2. Subunit structure: Interacts with CNIH2. Ref.2. Subcellular location: Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor: Secreted extracellular space. By similarity. Note: Mature HB-EGF is released into the extracellular space and probably binds to a receptor. By similarity.Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Developmental stage: Expressed uniformly in the embryonic hindbrain. Ref.2. Induction: Strongly induced in embryonic fibroblasts transformed by v-Jun. Ref.1. Sequence similarities: Contains 1 EGF-like domain.
