Gene: [00.0/EREG] epiregulin (EGF-related growth regulating peptide);
FUN |
[1] Epiregulin functions as a tumor growth-inhibitory factor inducing
morphologic changes in HeLa cells (Toyoda-1995).
[2] In mice, epiregulin exhibited bifunctional regulatory properties: it inhibited the growth of several epithelial tumor cells and stimulated the growth of fibroblasts and various other types of cells (Toyoda-1995)." |
EXP |
The level of expression of epiregulin was extremely low almost in all tissues but clearly detectable in macrophages and placenta and was high in carcinoma cells (Toyoda-1997)." |
