Facts about Proepiregulin.
Ligand of the EGF receptor/EGFR and ERBB4.
Stimulates EGFR and ERBB4 tyrosine phosphorylation (PubMed:9419975).Contributes to inflammation, wound healing, tissue repair, and oocyte maturation by regulating angiogenesis and vascular remodeling and by stimulating cell proliferation (PubMed:24631357). .
