Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF␣) is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand which is distinguished from EGF by its acid-labile structure and potent transforming function. We recently reported that TGF␣ induces less efficient EGFR heterodimerization and downregulation than does EGF (
## Abstract Human colon cancer cells produce and secrete a variety of polypeptide growth factors. The functional role of these growth factors, however, is poorly understood. Though the secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐like activity and EGF‐related molecules by human colon cancer cells in
We have investigated the actions of transforming growth factor (TGF) type a on epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mRNA expression in MDA-468 human mammary carcinoma cells in serum-free media. We found that exposure of MDA-468 cells to TGFa results in elevated levels of EGF receptor mRNA. This in
