Target Function Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), also known as fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7) plays a role in embryonic development, cell proliferation, tissue repair, branching morphogenesis, and tumor progression. KGF is primarily expressed in mesenchymal cells, specifically in tissues where epithelial-mesenchymal interactions occur. As such, KGF activity is mainly exhibited on epithelial cells, particularly keratinocytes, by influencing the repair and regeneration of damaged epithelial tissues, facilitating wound healing processes and promoting pathways to protect epithelial cells from UV radiation and toxins. Additionally, KGF is involved in the development and maintenance of hair follicles, promoting hair growth. In cell culture, KGF has efficacy in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) toward thymic epithelial cells and in the culture of 3-D organoids. The receptor KGF is FGFR2IIIb.
Tissue Specificity KGF has been detected in mesenchymal cells in skin, lung, intestine, salivary glands, and bladder.
Cellular Localization Secreted protein
Involvement In Disease Dysregulation of KGF is associated with psoriasis, gingival hyperplasia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mucositis, interstitial cystitis, and tumorigenesis in stomach, colon, pancreas, and ovarian cancers.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
