| Application: | Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) human has been used as a component of the keratinocyte differentiation medium. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) exerts paracrine effects on mesenchymal cells. It exhibits cryoprotective effects on epithelial cells of the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and the lungs. KGF participates in the activation of IIIb isoform of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-receptor 2 (FGFR2-IIIb) present on keratinocytes. This activation further favors proliferation, migration, and survival of keratinocytes. |
| General description: | Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7) family. It is produced by the mesenchymal cells, γδ T cells, and fibroblasts in several organs. The KGF gene is located on the human chromosome at 15q21.2. |
