The epidermal growth factor/transforming growth factor-alpha family and their receptors

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Abstract

Cytokines and growth factors act as intercellular signalling molecules which control cellular functions during development and in response to injury or infection. The epidermal growth factor (EGF) family is an expanding group of structurally related polypeptides that regulate cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, via tyrosine kinase receptors on target cells. This chapter reviews recent developments in the characterization of EGF family members and their receptors.

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
