For research use only
Epidermal Growth Factor, known as EGF, is a single polypeptide found in the human body.
It stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro, and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Additionally, EGF has been shown to inhibit gastric secretion, and to be involved in wound healing.
