KGF antibody
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.
