Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Structure**: EGF is a small, cysteine-rich protein with a molecular weight of approximately 6 kDa. 2. **Function**: EGF is a ligand that binds to the EGFR, triggering a series of downstream signaling events that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and survival. 3. **Expression**: EGF is expressed in various tissues, including epithelial cells, muscle fibers, and immune cells. 4. **Regulation**: EGF expression is regulated by a variety of factors, including growth factors, cytokines, and transcription factors. **Pathways and Functions** 1. **Cell Proliferation**: EGF signaling regulates cell proliferation by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, which promotes cell growth and survival. 2. **Differentiation**: EGF signaling regulates cell differentiation by activating the MAPK/ERK pathway, which controls the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation. 3. **Migration**: EGF signaling regulates cell migration by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, which promotes cell migration and invasion. 4. **Survival**: EGF signaling regulates cell survival by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, which promotes cell survival and apoptosis resistance. 5. **Angiogenesis**: EGF signaling regulates angiogenesis by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, which promotes the formation of new blood vessels. **Clinical Significance** 1. **Cancer**: EGF signaling is dysregulated in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. Overexpression of EGFR can lead to increased cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, contributing to cancer progression. 2. **Wound Healing**: EGF signaling plays a crucial role in wound healing by promoting cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. 3. **Neurological Disorders**: EGF signaling is involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system, and dysregulation of EGF signaling has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 4. **Cardiovascular Disease**: EGF signaling is involved in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. In conclusion, the EGF gene plays a critical role in regulating various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Dysregulation of EGF signaling has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of EGF signaling and to develop effective therapeutic strategies to target EGF signaling in disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
