The 1H-NMR spectra of native human epidermal growth factor (EGF) and a derivative lacking the final five residues have been assigned by two-dimensional methods, enabling their structures to be compared. The same structural features are observed for each protein, although the final five residues of native human EGF interact with residues earlier in the sequence. Comparison of the resonance shifts of human, rat and mouse EGF and human transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) enables shifts characteristic of the EGF conformation to be identified, providing standards by which the structures of related proteins may be assessed.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D006859 Hydrogen The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. Protium,Hydrogen-1
