Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor

Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor (rhEGF) is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring protein that plays a key role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. It binds to epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) on the surface of cells and stimulates cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. rhEGF is widely used in medical and cosmetic applications, including treatment of burns, ulcers, surgical wounds, and skin rejuvenation. It is considered safe and effective in promoting tissue repair and accelerating healing processes.
