Cat. No.	Z200185
Name	Recombinant Mouse KGF (FGF7) (E. coli)
Description	KGF is a member of the family of fibroblast growth factors, it is secreted in large amounts by fibroblast- like stromal cells in epithelial tissues. The KGF receptor encodes a tyrosine kinase and is a member of the family of receptors binding aFGF and bFGF. Binding of KGF to its receptor is competed by aFGF and bFGF. Although KGF is a potent specific mitogen for many epithelial cells it is not so for fibroblasts and endothelial cells. KGF is thought to play an important role in the paracrine growth control of normal epithelial cells. KGF stimulates the proliferation of primary and secondary human keratinocytes to the same extent as EGF.
Organism	Mouse (M. musculus)
Unit quantity	10 µg
Family	FGF Family
Aliases	Fgf5b, Kgf
Gene Symbol	FGF7
Gene ID	14178
Accession Number	P36363
Source	E. coli
Species	Mouse (M. musculus)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	19 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS
Function	The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of Immortalized Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells-SV40 and was found to be <0.05ng/mL.
Reconstitution	A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z200185

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.
