Description / FGF-7/KGF
FGF‐7/KGF is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth, and the regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF‐7/KGF is a mitogen factor specific for epithelial cells and keratinocytes. FGF‐7/KGF signals through FGFR 2b. FGF‐7/KGF plays a role in kidney and lung development, as well as in angiogenesis and wound healing. Recombinant Murine FGF‐7/KGF is an 18.9 kDa protein consisting of 164 amino acid residues.
