Active Recombinant Human FGF7 Protein

• Cat.No.: FGF7-229F
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FGF7 Protein without tag was expressed in CHO.

Specification

• Description: Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as FGF-7 and HBGF-7, is a mitogen factor belonging to the heparin-binding growth factor family. It is expressed mainly by epithelial cells. KGF binds to fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) to form a dimeric complex and initiate downstream signals. KGF plays an important role in embryonic development, cell proliferation and differentiation. It has also been reported to function in kidney and lung development, angiogenesis, wound healing and tumor invasion.
