Rabbit anti Human KGF

Product Type: Polyclonal Antibody
Isotype: Polyclonal IgG

AHP783	E FN P* WB			0.1 mg

Rabbit anti Human KGF antibody recognizes human KGF (keratinocyte growth factor), a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, which acts as a potent mitogen of epithelial cells, predominantly of keratinocyte origin.

KGF is secreted by fibroblasts in response to stimulation from inflammatory mediators, including IL-1 beta and PDGF-BB (platelet-derived growth factor B), and binds specifically to a splice variant of the FGF receptor 2 (FGFR2-IIIb), known as the KGF receptor.

Product Details

Immunogen: Recombinant human KGF.
Approx. Protein Concentrations: IgG concentration 1.0mg/ml

Storage Information

Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at +4^oC.
After reconstitution store at -20^oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life: 12 months from date of reconstitution.
