• Recombinant bovine/porcine FGF2 protein 145 aa (bFGF/basic FGF) for the development of species-specific bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) cellular agriculture protocols and veterinary research applications. Used in comparative cell culture media optimization studies alongside Qk056, the 154aa form of porcine/bovine FGF-2.FGF-2 is used extensively in the maintenance and proliferation of induced pluripotent (iPSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC)1-3  and for enhancement of proliferation in primary cell culture.High purity 16 kDa FGF-2 / bFGF protein, animal origin-free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
  • Human R-spondin 3 protein potentiates Wnt signalling in and has been shown to function in crypt regeneration in the intestine and control stem cell and progenitor cell behaviour during kidney development. R-spondin 3 is used alongside R-spondin 1 in intestinal organoid culture systems.17kDa highly pure, bioactive domain of human R-spondin 3 comprising the two cysteine-rich furin-like domains, which are necessary and sufficient for Wnt signalling potentiation and are the essential domains for activity in stem cell and organoid culture. Animal-free and carrier-protein free.
  • Recombinant bovine/porcine FGF2 protein 154 aa (bFGF/basic FGF), this is the long form of FGF-2 used for the development of optimized serum-free culture media for species-specific bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) cultivated meat and veterinary research applications. Used in comparative media optimization studies with Qk040 porcine/bovine FGF-2 145 aa.FGF-2 is used extensively in the maintenance and proliferation of induced pluripotent (iPSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC)1-3  and for enhancement of proliferation in primary cell culture.High purity 16 kDa FGF-2 / bFGF 154 aa protein, animal origin free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
  • Mouse/rat noggin is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family antagonist used in the culture of intestinal, pancreatic, lung and tumor-derived organoids, maintenance of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and for stem cell differentiation into neural and microglial lineages.Qkine recombinant mouse noggin protein is a highly pure 46kDa bioactive dimer for reproducible results (animal-free and carrier-protein free).
  • Recombinant mouse FGF2 protein/ bFGF is an important factor in the maintenance of mouse epiblast-derived stem cells (EpiSC). Mouse naïve pluripotency is maintained by LIF, BMP4, and Wnt signalling pathways. However, the primed state of pluripotency in mouse EpiSCs is more similar to hESC and hiPSC, being maintained by FGF2 and TGFβ/Activin/Nodal pathways.1,2High purity and bioactivity 16 kDa murine bFGF / FGF2 (basic FGF) protein, animal-origin free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
  • Human FGF-4 protein is used for the proliferation and differentiation of embryonic and induced-pluripotent and tissue (mesenchymal) stem cells and promotes neural stem cell proliferation.  FGF-4 is an important component of cardiac, intestinal and other organoid culture media.High purity and bioactivity 14 kDa, bioactive domain of human fibroblast growth factor 4, animal origin free (AOF) and carrier-protein free.
  • Human/bovine/porcine Gremlin 1 protein is a BMP-inhibitor present in the natural intestinal niche and provides an alternative to Noggin for optimisation of intestinal organoid culture and iPSC differentiation.Qk015 has been optimized by our experts for exceptionally high-purity production in E.coli and bioactivity. 18 kDa high purity dimeric protein, animal-free and carrier protein free
  • Recombinant human r-spondin 1 LR5 protein is engineered to act as a high affinity ligand for the LGR5 receptor.  In epithelial tissues LGR5 marks the stem cell population.  This engineered protein, R-spondin 1 LR5, activates wnt signalling only in the LGR5+ stem cell population.  R-spondin1 LR5 has been tested in intestinal organoid culture and supports organoid survival and growth. As LGR5 specifically marks stem cells and is not found on transit amplifying cells, the lower crypt multiplicity seen in organoid cultures with R-spondin 1 LR5 (in comparison to wild-type R-spondin 1, Qk006) supports the notion that this engineered form is acting specifically on stem cells.  This specialized form of R-spondin 1 was developed in Marc de la Roche’s lab (University of Cambridge).
