Recombinant Human KGF
Recombinant Human KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor), also known as FGF-7 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 7), is a secreted growth factor in the FGF family that specifically acts on epithelial cells. It is produced in an E. coli expression system in a tag-free form, corresponding to the Cys32–Thr194 amino acid sequence of human KGF protein. By specifically binding to the FGFR2 IIIb receptor on the surface of epithelial cells, KGF activates downstream signaling pathways including MAPK and PI3K/Akt, and potently promotes the proliferation, migration and differentiation of keratinocytes and various epithelial cells. It also participates in physiological processes such as tissue injury repair and organ morphogenesis. As an important supplement in organoid culture systems, KGF can significantly promote the growth and structural maintenance of epithelial organoids such as intestinal, lung, mammary and skin organoids, and is widely used in epithelial biology research, organoid line establishment, wound repair and drug screening. Manufactured under strict quality control and functional validation, this product features high purity, high specific activity, low endotoxin and excellent batch-to-batch consistency.
