Descriptor English: EGF Family of Proteins
Descriptor Spanish: Familia de Proteínas EGF
Descriptor familia de proteínas EGF
Scope note: Familia de proteínas relacionadas con el factor de crecimiento epidérmico. Tienen en común una secuencia consenso de seis residuos de CISTEÍNA conservados espacialmente que forman tres enlaces intramoleculares. Esta secuencia consenso se denomina habitualmente motivo EGF y se considera esencial para la unión de proteínas a RECEPTORES ERB.

Scope note: A family of proteins that are related to epidermal growth factor. They share in common a consensus sequence consisting of six spatially conserved CYSTEINE residues which form three intramolecular bonds. This consensus sequence is commonly referred to EGF motif and is considered essential for binding of the proteins to ERB RECEPTORS.
