Also acts as a diphtheria toxin receptor.Background:Human HB-EGF (Heparin-Binding EGF-like growth factor) is a 12-16 kDa member of the EGF family of peptide growth factors (1-3). Also known as the DTR (diphtheria toxin receptor), it is further classified as a group 2 ErbB ligand based on its ability to activate both the EGF/ErbB1 and ErbB4 receptors (4, 5). HB-EGF is synthesized as a 208 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane preproprecursor (1, 6). It contains a 19 aa signal sequence, a 43 aa prosegment, an 86 aa mature region (aa 63-148), an 11 aa juxtamembrane cleavage peptide, a 24 aa transmembrane segment, and a 25 aa cytoplasmic tail (aa 184-208). As an integral membrane protein, HB-EGF is expressed as a 19-27 kDa protein in mammalian cells (7-9). The variability in molecular weight (MW) is attributed to heterogeneity in glycosylation and/or the utilization of multiple proteolytic cleavage sites during maturation. Mature HB-EGF is a soluble peptide that arises from proteolytic processing of the transmembrane form. It possesses an EGF-like domain between aa 104-144, and a heparin-binding motif between aa 93‑113. Although the aa range for "mature" HB-EGF is typically stated to be Asp63-Leu148, potential N-terminal start (cleavage) sites also exist at Gly32, Arg73, Val74, Ser77 and Ala82 (8, 10-12). Thus, differential processing (in part) likely accounts for the 16-23 kDa range in MW noted for mammalian-derived mature HB-EGF. Proteases suggested to contribute to HB-EGF processing include TACE, MMP-3 and -7, ADAM-17 and ADAM-12 (11, 13-16). When expressed recombinantly in E.coli, HB-EGF (aa 73-148) runs at 14 kDa in SDS-PAGE; when expressed in Baculovirus, HB-EGF (aa 63-148, 77-148 and 32-148) runs at 18 kDa, 15 kDa, and 19 kDa respectively (8, 12, 17). Over aa 63-148, human HB-EGF- shares 76% and 73% aa sequence identity with rat and mouse HB-EGF, respectively (1, 18). Cells known to express HB-EGF include bronchial epithelium (19), visceral and vascular smooth muscle (20, 21), CD4+ T cells (22), cardiac muscle (23), glomerular podocytes (24), keratinocytes (13) and IL-10-secreting regulatory macrophages (25). As noted earlier, HB-EGF is known to bind to both 170 kDa EGFR and 180 kDa ErbB4, and through heterodimerization, ErbB2 (13, 26). Activity associated with ErbB4 binding appears to be limited to non-mitogenic actions, while EGFR binding induces both mitogenic and non-mitogenic activity...

The extracellular region can be proteolytically shed fromPurity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue StainingDescription:NG2, also known as CSPG4, MCSP, and AN2, is a 400-500 kDa transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) with a protein core of approximately 300 kDa. The extracellular region can be proteolytically shed from the cell surface. Mature human NG2 consists of a 2195 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 77 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within aa 1583-2224, human NG2/CSPG4 shares 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat CSPG4. NG2 binds to the extracellular matrix proteins Laminin, Tenascin, and Collagens II, V, and VI as well as to the growth factors FGF-2 and PDGF-AA. NG2 is expressed on glial cell progenitors known as O2A cells or NG2 glia. These cells are neuronally responsive and differentiate primarily into oligodendrocytes but also into astrocytes. NG2 associates with PDGF R alpha and the AMPA R subunit GluR2. It is up-regulated on microglial cells during inflammation and contributes to the induction of inflammatory mediators. Various CSPGs in the brain inhibit neurite outgrowth through interactions with Nogo Receptor/NgR1 and NgR3. This recombinant protein product corresponds to the last 5 CSPG repeats, a region which can independently inhibit neurite outgrowth. NG2 is also expressed on vascular mural cells and capillaries. It promotes vascular endothelial cell (EC) migration and angiogenesis through interactions with Galectin-3 and Integrin alpha 3 beta 1 on EC, Plasminogen, and Angiostatin. NG2 is also expressed on a variety of tumors where it contributes to tumor cell adhesion, motility, and invasion... Read More |
