KGF/FGF-7, Mouse, Recombinant

Recombinant, mouse keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) consisting of amino acids 32-194 and expressed in E. coli. KGF plays an essential role in development, tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, morphogenesis, and wound healing. Mature mouse KGF amino acid sequence is 96% identical with rat, bovine, ovine, equine, and human forms and is active across species.

ED₅₀ = 10-50 ng/ml as measured in a cell proliferation assay using 4MBr-5 monkey epithelial cells.

Lyophilized from 0.2 µm sterile-filtered MOPS, Na₂SO₄, EDTA, DTT BSA.

Following reconstitution refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage or aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C or for up to 3 months at -20°C.

Reconstitute to 250 µg/ml in sterile PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.
