KGF Human

Keratinocyte Growth Factor Human Recombinant

Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 164 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18995 Dalton.
The FGF-7 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Accession

P21781

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Cys-Asn-Asp-Met.

Biological Activity

The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant stimulation of KGF-responsive BaF3 indicator cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is < 10ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000 Units/mg. Lifeome's Keratinocyte Growth Factor biological activity was measured by the KGF's mitogenic activity on BaF3 cells expressing the KGF receptor.

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Protein content

Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.9 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of KGF as a Reference Standard.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Keratinocyte Growth Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Stability

Lyophilized Keratinocyte Growth Factor1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution FGF7 should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Synonyms

HBGF-7, FGF7, FGF-7, KGF.
