Anti-Amphiregulin/Areg Antibody Picoband®, FITC Conjugate

• Background:

  Amphiregulin, also known as AREG, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AREG gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. It is an autocrine growth factor as well as a mitogen for astrocytes, Schwann cells, fibroblasts. It is related to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha). This protein interacts with the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to promote the growth of normal epithelial cells. It is mapped to 9q32. It has been shown to play a role in immunity, inflammation, tissue repair, and lung and mammary gland development. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired immune system regulation in the skin and gene expression changes characteristic of chronic liver damage.
