Description
Human KGF-1 also known as Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7), is encoded by the FGF7 gene. Mature human KGF, which is active across species, shares 98% aa sequence identity with bovine, equine, ovine and canine, 96% with mouse and porcine, and 92% with rat KGF, respectively. KGF-1 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family(FGFs), which binds to specific receptors in epithelial cells. It can promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells, embryo development, immune reconstitution and repair of wounds, thus is widely used in clinical practice.

Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20 ℃ for 1 year.
1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
