Epidermal Growth Factor: High and Low Molecular Weight Forms
AUTOR(ES)
Taylor, John M.
RESUMO
In crude homogenates of the submaxillary gland of the male mouse, epidermal growth factor (EGF) activity was found almost entirely in a high molecular weight complex (about 74,000 daltons). This high molecular weight form may be reversibly dissociated into EGF and an EGF-binding protein. EGF was found to have a molecular weight of approximately 6400. The EGF-binding protein has a molecular weight of 29,000, and shows arginyl-esterase activity.
