Active Recombinant Human FGF7 Protein (Cys32-Thr194), GMP Grade

• Cat.No.: FGF7-04HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human KGF/FGF-7 protein (Cys32-Thr194) with an N-terminal Met was expressed in E. coli and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: Cys32-Thr194
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein is a potent epithelial cell-specific growth factor, whose mitogenic activity is predominantly exhibited in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Studies of mouse and rat homologs of this gene implicated roles in morphogenesis of epithelium, reepithelialization of wounds, hair development and early lung organogenesis.
• Bio-activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using 4MBr-5 rhesus monkey epithelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is 6-60 ng/mL.
  The specific activity of recombinant human KGF/FGF-7 is >8.16 x 105 units/mg, which is calibrated against the human KGF/FGF-7 WHO Standard.
