Epiregulin
Epiregulin is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Epiregulin can function as a ligand of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), as well as a ligand of most members of the ERBB (v-erb-b2 oncogene homolog) family of tyrosine-kinase receptors. Epiregulin functions as a tumor growth-inhibitory factor in HeLa cells. (LocusLink and OMIM) (NCI Thesaurus)
