General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DMAB-CBAS041) is a mouse-derived monoclonal antibody raised against human HBEGF. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), encoded by the HBEGF gene, is a member of the EGF family that interacts with EGFR and ERBB4 receptors. It plays crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes, including cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation. HB-EGF expression is upregulated by oxidative stress in endothelial cells and is involved in metabolic syndrome and advanced metabolic diseases. In cancer, HB-EGF expression is altered in multiple types, including bladder, breast, colon, hepatic, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, as well as gliomas. It contributes to tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis by promoting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Additionally, HB-EGF is involved in wound healing, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart development. Its role in glucose metabolism and exercise-induced glucose uptake suggests a potential link to metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. These diverse functions highlight HB-EGF as a potential therapeutic target for various diseases, including cancer and metabolic disorders.
DMAB-CBAS041 is suitable for use in ELISA(Det) application.
DMAB-CBAS041 is supplied as a liquid formulation in Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), carrier-free, with optional 0.09% sodium azide. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
