Description
KGF 2 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 173 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19.5kDa. The KGF 2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
FGFA, FGF10, FGF-10, KGF-2, Fibroblast growth factor 10.
Introduction
KGF-2 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. FGF-10 exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7. Studies of the mouse homolog of suggested that this gene is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of lim bud formation. This gene is also implicated to be a primary factor in the process of wound healing.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1×PBS, pH 7.4 containing 5% trehalose.
Stability
Lyophilized KGF 2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution KGF 2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors is <0.5ng/ml.
