Recombinant FGF-10, His, Human

• Catalog Number: orb1494888
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Fibroblast Growth Factor-10 (FGF-10) is a mitogen mainly produced by mesenchymal stem cells in lung. FGF-10 belongs to the heparin binding FGF family, and is also known as Keratinocyte Growth Factor-2 (KGF-2). It shares the homolog and receptor FGFR2-IIIb with KGF. However, unlike KGF which induces the proliferation and differentiation of various epithelial cells, FGF-10 is an essential factor for the budding and branching morphogenesis during the multi-organ development via the instructive mesenchymal-epithelial interactions. FGF-10 is crucial for lung and limb development, and is regulated by Shh during early development. Recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor-10 (rhFGF-10) with N-terminal His-tag produced in E. coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 187 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-10 has a molecular mass of 21.4 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
