- Function
- EGF is a potent mitogen for many cells in culture, and in vivo, it induces the proliferation and the differentiation of the skin, cornea, lungs, trachea, and among other tissues. Processing of pro EGF in different tissues is not equally efficient. The precursor is processed to mature EGF in the submaxillary glands, pancreas, small intestine, and the mammary glands. EGF is fully processed, stored in secretory granules, and secreted in saliva. In the kidney, EGF is present in unprocessed or intermediated forms on the cell surface.
