## Abstract Estrogen (E), progesterone (P), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are known to regulate growth and development of the normal mammary gland, and it is possible that EGF may interact with E and/or P. Estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and EGF receptors (EGFβR) have been detected in both ma
We recently showed that mammary glands contain a novel class of calcium-binding proteins (CBPs) that bind to membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. We have also established that these mammary CBPs are equivalent to the calelectrins and calpactin I/p36. Since it has been suggested that these protei
