Protein Tag: N-His
Uniprot: P00533
Accession: P00533-1
Background: EGFR,also named as ERBB1,is a cell-surface receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF-family) of extracellular protein ligands. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. The gene resides on chromosome 7p12,encoding a 170 kDa membrane-associated glycoprotein. Recent studies have shown EGFR plays a critical role in cancer development and progression,including cell proliferation,apoptosis,angiogenesis,and metastatic spread. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Glu204-His370
Purity: > 80% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Normally 5%-8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.
Endotoxin: < 10 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Calculated MW: 18.2 kDa
Observed MW: 20.5 kDa
