HBEGF

Gene
HBEGF
Protein
Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor
Organism
Gallus gallus
Length
212 amino acids
Function
May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF (By similarity). Plays an important role in the proper development of cranial nerves by inhibiting the migration of the cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) into the odd-numbered neuromeres (r3 and r5) of the hindbrain Plays a role in mediating v-Jun-induced oncogenic transformation.

Function
Growth factor that mediates its effects via EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4. Required for normal cardiac valve formation and normal heart function. Promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation. May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts, but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF. Also acts as a diphtheria toxin receptor (By similarity).
