Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. It is an autocrine growth factor as well as a mitogen for astrocytes, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts. It is related to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha). This protein interacts with the EGF/TGF-alpha receptor to promote the growth of normal epithelial cells and inhibits the growth of certain aggressive carcinoma cell lines. This encoded protein is associated with a psoriasis-like skin phenotype. (provided by RefSeq)_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ AREG (AAH09799, 20 a.a. ~ 129 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag.
