InterPro family
The keratinocyte growth factor (KGF ), also known as
FGF7 , is a
growth factor present in the
epithelialization -phase of
wound healing . In this phase,
keratinocytes are covering the wound, forming the
epithelium .
KGF is a small signaling molecule that binds to
fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b).
[1] For signalling to occur, a dimer is required between two FGF:FGFR complexes that is linked together by a molecule of heparin.
There are 23 known FGFs, and 4
FGF receptors . FGF:FGFR binding is complex and regulated by a variety of mechanisms in a tissue specific manner.
FGF10 is also known as "keratinocyte growth factor 2".
