Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | HBGF-7, FGF7, FGF-7, KGF. |
Background | KGFis a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGFfamily members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF7 is a potent epithelial cell-specific growth factor, whose mitogenic activity is predominantly exhibited in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Studies of mouse and rat homologs of this gene implicated roles in morphogenesis of epithelium, reepithelialization of wounds, hair development and early lung organogenesis. |
Description | Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 164a.a. and having a molecular weight of 18995 Dalton.The FGF-7 is purified by unique purification methods. |

Purity | >96.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The biological activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing KGFreceptors yielding an ED50 <10ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1.0x105 IU/mg. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2?m filtered solution in 20mM PB, pH 8.0, 1M NaCl. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized Keratinocyte Growth Factor1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF7 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
