Description

Keratinocyte Growth Factor, Human is a highly purified recombinant protein that plays a critical role in epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and repair. This growth factor is essential for research and development in advanced cell biology and regenerative medicine applications. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in wound healing studies, dermatological research, and the development of specialized cell culture media.

Application

• Cell Culture & Tissue Engineering: Used as a key supplement in defined media for the proliferation and maintenance of keratinocytes and other epithelial cell types.
• Wound Healing Research: Investigated for its potent effects on epithelial regeneration and migration in models of cutaneous injury and ulcer repair.
• Dermatology & Cosmeceutical R&D: Serves as a bioactive ingredient in studies focused on skin barrier function, anti-aging, and epidermal homeostasis.
• Mucosal Repair Studies: Applied in research targeting the healing of gastrointestinal, oral, and corneal epithelial surfaces.
• Biomanufacturing: Employed in the production and scale-up of epithelial cell-based therapies and advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs).
• Biochemical Assay Development: Used as a reference standard or critical reagent in bioassays, ELISA kits, and potency tests.

Quality Control

Our Keratinocyte Growth Factor, Human is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high biological activity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot is subjected to a comprehensive battery of tests including purity analysis by HPLC, identity confirmation, endotoxin testing, and bioactivity assays. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
