Abstract excerpt
Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) and human transforming growth factor alpha (hTGFalpha) are prototypical of structurally related polypeptide mitogens which interact with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Several determinants of receptor recognition that specify function have been proposed on the basis of structural criteria. This study evaluates the role of one such candidate, H16 of hEGF, by...
