✦ Synopsis
While EGF has an important function in cell growth regulation, the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular signal connect the EGF: receptor complex on the plasma membrane with the initiation of DNA synthesis and mitogenesis is not well understood. The discovery that rasGAP, PI-3 kinase and PLC-gamma 1 are substrates for the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase has provided a beginning in understanding the biochemistry underlying growth factor receptor transduction.

The association/dissociation binding kinetics of 1251-labeled mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) to receptors on human fibroblast cells in monolayer culture have been measured at 4°C as a function of extracellular pH from pH 5-9. At pH 8, steady-state total binding is maximal. As pH is lowered to 6
