Abstract excerpt
Human epidermal growth factor (EGF) and human transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) are structurally related polypeptide growth factors that exert their mitogenic activity through interaction with a common cell-surface receptor, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The biological effect induced by these two ligands is quantitatively similar in most cases; in some test systems, however, TGF-alpha...
