Background: EGF

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is the founding member of the EGF family of growth factors. Mature EGF is generated by proteolytic release of a juxtamembrane domain within the transmembrane EGF precursor. It is present in a wide variety of body fluids. EGF binds the receptor ErbB1 and induces signaling through ErbB1 homodimers or heterodimers with ErbB2. It plays a key role in epithelial morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis.
