Description : |
FGF-7 (KGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGF-7 is expressed in mesenchymal origin cells. FGF-7 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. FGF-7 is required for normal branching morphogenesis, growth factor active on keratinocytes. FGF-7 is possible major paracrine effector of normal epithelial cell proliferation. |
Bio-activity : |
The activity was measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of 4MBr-5 cells (monkey epithelial cell line). |
Molecular Mass : |
17-30 kDa |
Endotoxin : |
<0.5 EU/ μg |
Purity : |
High Purity, >95% by SDS-PAGE |
Stability : |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In general: 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -80 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -80 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
Storage Buffer : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS without carrier protein |
Reconstitution : |
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile PBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin. |
