Description

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), also known as fibroblast growth factor-7 (FGF-7), is part of the large FGF family, and alongside FGF-3, FGF-10, and FGF-22, is a member of the FGF-7 subfamily. KGF/FG-7 is a mitogen factor specific for epithelial cells and keratinocytes and signals through FGFR 2b. KGF/FGF-7 plays a role in kidney and lung development, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Recombinant human KGF/FGF-7 is an 18.9 kDa protein consisting of 163 amino acid residues.
