- Human KGF protein (FGF-7) is a member of the FGF family secreted by mesenchymal cells and has a paracrine effect on neighbouring epithelial cells.1 KGF protein is used in the culture of lung, breast, liver, and bladder organoids.2 In vivo, KGF is involved in wound healing and development of kidney, thymus, and hippocampus.1High purity and bioactivity 19 kDa human FGF-7 / KGF protein, animal-origin free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
- Sonic hedgehog protein (Shh) is a member of the Hedgehog family with an essential role in embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and tumorigenesis. Shh induces the cell fate and patterning of neural progenitors in ventral domains at various levels in the forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord. It has many applications in the neural stem cell field where it plays a significant role in differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) towards motor neurons and interneurons. Also, it induces the patterning of organoids and embryos in culture.Recombinant Shh protein has a molecular weight of 19.8kDa.
