Additional Information

Characteristics: The ED 50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by KGF- responsive BaF3 cells is <10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >1 x 10 5 units/mg.

Description: FGF-7, also known as Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), is a potent mitogen for keratinocytes and epithelial cells. Recombinant human FGF-7/KGF is an 18.9 kDa protein containing 163 amino acid residues.

Molecular Weight: 18.9 kDa

Application Details

Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng per μ g of FGF-7.

Buffer: Lyophilized without additives

Storage: The lyophilized FGF-7 is best-stored desiccated below 0 °C. Reconstituted FGF-7 should be stored in working aliquots at -20 °C. Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in PBS to a concentration of 0.1-1 μ g/ μ l. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4 °C for 1 week or –20 °C for future use.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
