In this study, we compared the estrogenic action pattern of beta-HCH to another ErbB2 activating agent, heregulin beta1 (HRG), along with 17beta-estradiol and epidermal growth factor, to understand the similarities and differences of their action mechanisms.

We investigated how activation of this pathway by E2, the estrogenic environmental contaminants o,p'-DDT, beta-HCH and p,p'-DDE, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) influences the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) target genes, such as TFF1, ER, PR, BRCA1 and CCND1, and the proliferation of breast cancer cells.

First, they contain the astacin metalloprotease domain, the CUB domain and the epidermal growth factor-like domain.

These four mitogens are epidermal growth factor (EGF), acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), hepatopoietin A/hepatocyte growth factor (HPTA/HGF) and hepatopoietin B (HPTB).

In addition, the Strongyloides enzyme, designated strongylastacin, includes a central epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain followed by a carboxyl CUB (complement sub component C1r/C1s/embryonic sea urchin protein Uegf/bone morphogenetic protein) domain.
