Human Oligopeptide 1 EGF Epidermal Growth Factor In Cosmetics / Beauty Care

Human Oligopeptide 1 EGF Epidermal Growth Factor In Cosmetics / Beauty Care​

Description

Oligopeptide-1, which is also named epidermal growth factor, is extracted from the mouse mandibular peptide by American Dr. Stanley Cohen and Italian scientist professor Rita Levi-Montalcini in 1962. This polypeptide is widely existed in human or other animal body. A very small amount of Oligopeptide-1 can strongly stimulate cell growth, inhibition of aging, so it's named epidermal growth factor (EGF). In 1986, the discovery was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology for opening up a new field of life science. In 1974, EGF purified from human urine was widely used in the medical field because of its efficient repair function. It's used in treatment for corneal injury, burns and repair and healing for surgical wound and so on. A huge market need t stimulated the industrialization of EGF development. Healthgen Biotech rhEGF is derived from yeast, which is animal component free and has high purity and bioactivity.

Physiological and Biochemical Properties of our rhEGF and rEGF(E.coli)

Advantages

1. The chairman of Healthgen Biotech Professor Daichang.Yang is one of China's chief scientists. Professor Yang has rechieved the “Thousand Talents program” of the National Central Organization Department, "Hundred Talents Program" of the Organization Department of Hubei Province and Top 10 "Venture Eagle" entrepreneurs.

2. With years of effort, Healthgen Biotech has developed the State-of-the-Art platform called Oryz^HiExp, having high capacity to express no animal origin proteins and peptides in the rice endosperm cells.

3. The lyophilized powder rhEGF can keep the stability and bioactivity. The lyophilized powder effectively prevents the changes of physical, chemical properties and biological characteristics of rhEGF. It has small damage to biological structure and characteristics of the dormant state and can make them quickly enter the sleep state. So the rhEGF freeze-dried powder can be stored at -20 ℃ for more than 24 months. The appearance of our rhEGF powder is white color, which is the same as the EGF derived from E.coli. 

Supplemental Description 

EGF is a potent growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of various epidermal and epithelial cells. Additionally, EGF has been shown to inhibit gastric secretion, and to be involved in wound healing. EGF signals through a receptor known as c-erbB, which is a class I tyrosine kinase receptor. This receptor also binds with TGF-α and VGF (vaccinia virus growth factor). Recombinant human EGF is a 6.3 kDa globular protein containing 53 amino acid residues including 3 intramolecular disulfide-bonds. It was Manufactured using all non-animal reagents.
