Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7/KGF-1), is encoded by the FGF7 gene and binds to the b splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGFR2b. Affinity between FGF-7 and its receptor is increased by heparin or heparan sulfate proteoglycan. FGF-10, also called keratinocyte growth factor 2 (KGF-2), shares 51% amino acid sequence identity and similar function to KGF-1, but uses an additional receptor, FGFR2c. KGF-1 is important in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. KGF-1 is active on keratinocytes, and exhibits mitogenic activity for epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts. KGF-1 has species cross activity, human KGF-1 shares 96 % amino acid sequence identity with murine, and 92% with rat. Manufacturing and testing of this product complies with ICH Q7 guidelines.
