Background
Epiregulin (EREG) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and is a ligand for the EGF receptor (EGFR) and ErbB4 (1-3). The binding of EREG to homodimers, as well as heterodimers containing EGFR or ErbB4, leads to receptor activation and downstream signaling to promote cell growth and proliferation (4-6). In normal human tissue, moderate levels of EREG are expressed in the placenta and peripheral blood macrophages. Research studies have shown that EREG is expressed at high levels in numerous cancer cell lines, and EREG expression is correlated with primary cancer aggresiveness/metastases (7-11). In addition to its involvement in tumorigenesis, a variant of EREG has also been shown to be associated with tuberculosis susceptibility (12). EREG is synthesized as a ~30 kDa glycosylated membrane bound proepiregulin form (19 kDa when not glycosylated) and through subsequent proteolytic cleavage is processed to a 17 kDa C-terminal propeptide, and the 6kDa mature form of epiregulin (13).

Species Reactivity
Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).
Western Blot Buffer
IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
