Epiregulin - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Epiregulin;

NCIt synonyms : EREG;

NCIt definition : Epiregulin (49 aa, 6 kDa) is encoded by the human EREG gene. This protein is involved in the positive regulation of cell proliferation.;

NCIt note : The active form of the growth factor, epiregulin, is produced by two proteolytic cleavage events that remove 59 N-terminal amino acids and 61 amino acids from the C-terminus of proepiregulin. The precursor is a type I membrane protein and the mature form is a secreted protein. (UniProt);
