Human FGF-7/KGF Protein

Recombinant Human FGF-7/KGF Protein is expressed from E.coli without tag.It contains Cys32-Thr194. The expression patterns of mRNAs encoding Fibroblast Growth Factor-7 (FGF-7) and its high affinity receptor suggested that FGF-7 signaling may play a role in regulating ureteric bud growth.t Results of these studies demonstrate that the developing ureteric bud and mature collecting system of FGF-7-null kidneys is markedly smaller than wild type. FGF-7 levels modulate the extent of ureteric bud growth during development and the number of nephrons that eventually form in the kidney. Protein function: Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Required for normal branching morphogenesis. Growth factor active on keratinocytes. Possible major paracrine effector of normal epithelial cell proliferation. [The UniProt Consortium]
