| epidermal growth f. |
a mitogenic polypeptide originally extracted from the submandibular glands of male mice; it is produced by many cell types and is made in large amounts by some tumors. It promotes growth and differentiation, is essential in embryogenesis, and is also important in wound healing. It has been found to be part of a family of compounds that includes human epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factors, and amphiregulin.

a mitogenic polypeptide found in humans that is 70 per cent homologous with the epidermal growth factor of mice; it promotes growth and differentiation, is essential in embryogenesis, and is important in wound healing. It is produced by many normal cell types and is made in large amounts by some tumors; the kidneys are the major source of the circulating factor. Called also urogastrone.
