Bovine FGF-7 Elisa Kit

Background:
KGF (keratinocyte growth factor), also known as FGF-7, is induced in mesenchymal cells by inflammation or tissue damage. It functions as a paracrine factor during wound healing by inducing the proliferation of nearby epithelial cells. KGF plays a role in kidney morphogenesis, hair follicle development, and keratinocyte differentiation. It signals only through the IIIb splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGF R2 (IIIb)/KGF R.

Long Name: Keratinocyte growth factor

FGF7, FGF-7, fibroblast growth factor 7, HBGF-7, Heparin-binding growth factor 7, KGF,
