Abstract
The present invention provides a method for screening a cytostatic agent characterized by determining an effect of inhibiting intracellular signaling mediated by a remaining fragment of a cell membrane-anchored growth factor, and the cytostatic agent. In growth factors of the EGF family, the physiological significance of the remaining fragment is clarified, and a method for controlling its action is searched, and thus a novel pharmaceutical can be provided.
