These receptors are found in several human tissues such as parotid gland and sub- mandibular gland. The epidermal growth factors are changing the scenario of the anti-aging skin and hair care products. The EGF products are designed in ways that regenerate the damaged skin and promote growth of healthy cells by cell differentiation and cell proliferation that results in clearer skin and youthful complexion. The epidermal growth factors that are commercially available are highly purified and refined using standard chromatographic techniques so as to retain the importance of the commercial product to match the human skin regeneration Use of epidermal growth factors has modernized the anti- aging therapies in the beauty and skin care market and are exhibiting a consistent rise in their demand. A highly trusted bacterium in biotechnology, E. coli is the basic source for protein production required in modern medicine.
