Beschreibung

General description

KGF/FGF-7 is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. KGF/FGF-7 is a mitogen factor specific for epithelial cells and keratinocytes. KGF/FGF-7 signals through FGFR 2b. KGF/FGF-7 plays a role in kidney and lung development, angiogenesis, and wound healing.
Recombinant human KGF/FGF-7 is an 18.9 kDa protein consisting of 163 amino acid residues.

Product Source: Protein is expressed in E.coli.
The protein is manufactured without the use of any animal products/reagents and is considered Animal-Free and can be used in protocols where possible transmisson of animal viruses and contamination must be avoided.

Physical form

Product is presented in 15 mM Sodium Phosphate pH 7.0 + 0.25 M NaCl and is filtered through a 0.2 micron filter before lyophilization.

Preparation Note

Store at -20°C for up to 4 months from date of receipt Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
Reconstitute in 1x PBS to a concentration of 0.5-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein and store in working aliquots at -20°C.

Analysis Note

The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by KGF-responsive BaF3 cells is ≤ 10 ng/ml
corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 1 x 10^5 units/mg.
