Fibroblast Growth Factor 7 (FGF7) (Active) protein
Description
Fibroblast Growth Factor-7 (FGF-7/KGF) is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. All FGFs have two conserved cysteine residues and share 30 - 50% sequence identity at the amino acid level. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. KGF-1/FG-7 is a mitogen factor specific for epithelial cells and keratinocytes and signals through FGFR 2b. KGF-1/FGF-7 plays a role in kidney and lung development, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Synonym: Fibroblast Growth Factor-7(FGF-7), Mouse. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution in 20mM PB, pH 8.0, 1M NaCl.
