Application
This product has been used to study differentiation of pancreatic acinar cell line (AR42J) into insulin-secreting cells and has been linked to a role in the growth and differentiation of islet cells in human pancreas.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Betacellulin, and the other members of the EGF family of growth factors, binds with high affinity to both EGFR and to erbB-4. Overexpression of Betacellulin with erbB-3 and erbB-4 has been linked to human endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Preparation Note
This product was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS containing 5 mg of bovine serum albumin. It should be reconstituted by adding sterile PBS containing 0.1% HAS or BSA to a concentration greater than 1 μg/mL.
Analysis Note
The biological activity of this product is measured by an ability to stimulate H-thmidine incorporation in EGF-responsive mouse BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of growth factor that elicits a 50% increase in cell growth in a cell based bioassay.
Disclaimer
This product should be stored at -20°C. After preparation, the product can be stored at 2-8°C for one month, or frozen in aliquots at -20°C or -70°C for more extended storage.

Betacellulin is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. These soluble proteins are ligands for one or more of the four receptor tyrosine kinases encoded by the erbB gene family (erbB-1/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), neu/erbB-2/HER2, erbB-3/HER3 and

Betacellulin (BTC) purified from mouse beta cell tumor (betaTC-3) is a new member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family which can bind receptor tyrosine kinase, EGF receptor (erbB1) and erbB4. It has been demonstrated that proBTC mRNA was abundantly

The objective of this study was to determine the immunohistochemical expression of the c-erbB-3 and c-erbB-4 growth factor receptors and their principal ligands, the neuregulins and betacellulin, in normal endometrium and determine whether there was evidence of under- or overexpression
