Description
Betacellulin (BTC) is a member of the EGF family of growth factors that also includes EGF, TGF-α, Amphiregulin, HB-EGF, Epiregulin, Tomoregulin, Heregulin and Neuregulins. Mature human BTC protein exhibits 80% amino acidsimilarity with mouse BTC protein. BTC is expressed in most tissues including kidney, uterus, liver and pancreas. It is also present in body fluids, including serum, milk, and colostrum. It is synthesized primarily as a transmembrane precursor, which is then processed to a mature molecule by proteolytic events. BTC signals through the EGF receptor.Recombinant Human Betacellulin (BTC) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 81 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhBTC has a molecular mass of 15 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
