摘要
By use of immunoblot analysis, we demonstrate the presence of a pro-Epidermal growth factor (EGF) with an approximate molecular weight of 165 kDa in adult mouse urine. In addition, urine contains four high molecular weight EGFs with approximate molecular weights of 116, 97, 66 and 56 kDa. The 165 kDa pro-EGF as well as the 66 and 56 kDa EGFs also are detectable in mouse kidney extract. Neither urine nor kidney contain the mature EGF of 6 kDa. The 165 kDa pro-EGF is the major product synthesized in renal tissue and secreted in urine. The finding of high molecular weight EGFs in urine suggests that part of pro-EGF secreted into urine undergoes partial proteolysis distal to its site of synthesis. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
