Epidermal growth factor. Molecular model of human epidermal growth factor (EGF, green) complexed with its receptor (pink). EGF plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. Overexpression of the EGF receptor in a number of tissues leads to cancer. Due to tthis, the receptor is a target for a number of anti-cancer drugs.
