Amphiregulin (AREG) is a biologically active growth factor that binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), playing a vital role in cell growth, tissue regeneration, and immune system regulation.

Amphiregulin (AREG)

Produced by activated immune cells, AREG exists first as a membrane-bound precursor (pro-AREG) and is later released in its soluble form to activate EGFR pathways. Because of its central role in EGFR signalling, Amphiregulin is being explored as a novel biomarker for various cancers, inflammatory conditions, and fibrotic diseases.

AREG is involved in a wide range of biological processes, including:

  • Tissue Repair and Regeneration: Promotes healing and cell proliferation after injury.
  • Immune Modulation: Supports type 2 immune responses that help resolve inflammation.
  • Pubertal Development: Linked to breast development and onset of puberty in females.
  • Ovarian Function: Stimulates ovulation through luteinising hormone activity.

Although AREG is found in low concentrations in healthy individuals, its levels significantly rise in response to cellular stress, tissue injury, or malignancy.

Other Applications

Ongoing research is evaluating AREG as a diagnostic and prognostic blood biomarker for the following conditions:

  • Cancer diagnosis and staging (breast, ovarian, liver, lung, and colorectal)
  • Fibrotic liver diseases
  • Tissue injury and repair monitoring
  • Hormonal and reproductive health
