Description

General description

Recombinant, human neuregulin 1-β1/heregulin 1-β1 extracellular domain (NRG1-beta1/HRG1-beta1 ECD) consisting of amino acids 2-246 and expressed in E. coli. All NRG1 isoforms contain an EGF-like domain (β-splice variant) that is used to directly bind to the ErbB3 or ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ED₅₀ = 2.5-12.5 ng/ml as measured in a serum-free proliferation assay using MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells.

Warning
