[Lymnaea stagnalis EGF] This factor (QGDGEDPCQIVRCSYGANCIAYGDTAICECPFGYSGIRCQDPS) is an EGF homolog from the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis (great pond snail). L-EGF mRNA is expressed throughout embryonic development, in the juvenile CNS, but not in the normal adult CNS. Expression in the adult CNS is upregulated after injury. L-EGF acts like other neurotrophic factors and can evoke neurite outgrowth in specific adult Lymnaea neurons in vitro. This effect can be inhibited by an EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
