Cat. No.	Z100597
Name	Recombinant Human KGF (FGF7) (E. coli)
Description	KGF is a member of the family of fibroblast growth factors, it is secreted in large amounts by fibroblast-like stromal cells in epithelial tissues. The KGF receptor encodes a tyrosine kinase and is a member of the family of receptors binding aFGF and bFGF. Binding of KGF to its receptor is competed by aFGF and bFGF. Although KGF is a potent specific mitogen for many epithelial cells it is not so for fibroblasts and endothelial cells. KGF is thought to play an important role in the paracrine growth control of normal epithelial cells. KGF stimulates the proliferation of primary and secondary human keratinocytes to the same extent as EGF.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
