SKU: Z03174-25
Rating: 5 (6 reviews)

Overview

Synonyms	Keratinocyte Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factor-7, HBGF-7
Description	Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as FGF-7 and HBGF-7, is a mitogen factor belonging to the heparin-binding growth factor family. It is expressed mainly by epithelial cells. KGF binds to fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) to form a dimeric complex and initiate downstream signals. KGF plays an important role in embryonic development, cell proliferation and differentiation. It has also been reported to function in kidney and lung development, angiogenesis, wound healing and tumor invasion.
