Supplied as a lyophilized powder from 15mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, 0.25M sodium chloride. 11mg BSA. Reconstituted in PBS to a concentration of 0.5-1mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degree C. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile PBS. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Reconstituted product is stable for 3 months at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Small volumes of FGF7 recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) is a potent mitogen for keratinocytes and epithelial cells. Human KGF is a 18.9kD protein containing 163 amino acid residues.

FGF7_HUMAN

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family 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. This protein 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. [provided by RefSeq]

Function: Growth factor active on keratinocytes. Possible major paracrine effector of normal epithelial cell proliferation.

Subunit structure: Interacts with FGFBP1. Ref.4

Subcellular location: Secreted.

Tissue specificity: Epithelial cell.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
