EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR
(HUMAN)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
EGF is instrumental in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and maintaining epithelial homeostasis, making it an essential component in therapeutic and cosmetic applications.
EGF is a potent growth factor primarily synthesized by epithelial cells and platelets. As a member of the EGF family, it binds specifically to the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) to activate intracellular signaling pathways. These protein-protein interactions play a crucial role in regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration.
​
​Immobazyme's recombinant EGF is produced in E. coli, and purified using immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography. Immobazyme’s EGF is a fusion protein with enhanced stability and solubility.

What are recombinant growth factors and how are they used in cell culture?Recombinant growth factors are lab-produced proteins that stimulate cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. They play a crucial role in cell culture by mimicking naturally occurring signalling molecules. At Immobazyme, we produce high-quality recombinant growth factors optimised for applications in biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and cultivated meat. These growth factors support consistent and reproducible results in serum-free and defined media formulations.
-
Which growth factors does Immobazyme offer?Immobazyme offers a growing portfolio of recombinant growth factors, including: Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-2) Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-β) Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) Currently in R&D and en route to market are: Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (FGF-18) Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Human Recombinant Insulin
-
Are Immobazyme’s growth factors animal-free?Yes, all of Immobazyme’s recombinant growth factors are produced in animal-free and chemically defined systems. They are ideal for ethical, regulatory-compliant applications in food tech, stem cell research, and clinical-grade manufacturing.
-
Are Immobazyme’s growth factors suitable for cell-cultured meat and regenerative medicine applications?Yes, our recombinant growth factors are designed for a wide range of applications including cultivated meat production, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. They are available in animal-free formats and support cell proliferation in serum-free and chemically defined media—ideal for scale-up in bioreactor systems and clinical research environments.
-
How does Immobazyme ensure the quality and consistency of its growth factor products?Immobazyme follows stringent quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) protocols. Every batch of growth factor undergoes, endotoxin testing, mycoplasma testing, sterility testing, activity assays, and purity confirmation.
-
Can I request a free sample of a growth factor before purchasing?Yes, we are happy to send you a free sample for testing! Please email gabriele@immobazyme.com to request a sample.
-
Do you offer discounts for bulk or recurring orders?Yes! Please reach out to gabriele@immobazyme.com to discuss your needs.
-
How should I store and handle your growth factors upon delivery?Immobazyme growth factors are shipped in lyophilised form and should be stored at –20°C. Once reconstituted, they should be aliquoted and stored a 4°C for short term storage, or -25°C for long term storage. . Each product comes with a detailed technical datasheet outlining proper storage, handling, and reconstitution instructions.
