General description

βcellulin (BTC) is a growth factor that belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. BTC is the product of post-translational modification of a larger membrane-anchored precursor peptide. A wide range of tissues including liver, kidney, pancreas and small intestine highly express BTC. The main function of BTC is the regulation of growth, proliferation, regeneration and differentiation of pancreatic β cells. It also has important physiological role in the development and function of endocrine precursor cells of pancreas. The cellular effects of BTC are mediated by the EGF receptors, Erb-1, -2, -3 and -4. The pathways mediated by the binding of BTC to Erbs are Ras/MAPK and PI3K pathways. βcellulin has been reported to also drive proliferation of osteoblasts and neural stem cells and increase cortical bone deposition and neurogenesis, respectively
Monoclonal Anti-βcellulin (BTC) recognizes human βcellulin. This antibody exhibits no cross-reactivity with recombinant human EGF, HB-EGF, TGF-a, HRG-a, and AR in immunoblotting.

Immunogen

recombinant human betacellulin (BTC)

Application

Anti-βcellulin antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1.0-2.0 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for ELISA at a recommended concentration of 1-2 μg/ml.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline

Preparation Note

Purified using protein A.

When epidermal growth factor and its relatives bind the ErbB family of receptors, they trigger a rich network of signalling pathways, culminating in responses ranging from cell division to death, motility to adhesion. The network is often dysregulated in cancer

Neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in specialized niches in the adult mammalian brain, including the subventricular zone and the dentate gyrus, which act to control NSC behavior. Among other cell types within these niches, NSCs are found in close proximity

Cellular signaling via epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGF-like ligands can determine cell fate and behavior. Osteoblasts, which are responsible for forming and mineralizing osteoid, express EGF receptors and alter rates of proliferation and differentiation in response to EGF receptor

Betacellulin (BTC), a member of the epidermal growth factor family, is known to play an important role in regulating growth and differentiation of pancreatic beta cells. Growth-promoting actions of BTC are mediated by epidermal growth factor receptors (ErbBs), namely ErbB-1

Betacellulin (BTC) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of peptide ligands that are characterised by a six-cysteine consensus motif that forms three intra-molecular disulfide bonds crucial for binding the ErbB receptor family. BTC was initially described, purified and
