Hu Recom FGF-10 (KGF-2), ACF, 25 µg

Epithelial organoid and primary cell culture systems benefit from a defined source of Keratinocyte Growth Factor 2, and STEMCELL Technologies supplies recombinant human FGF-10 (also known as KGF-2) in an animal component-free (ACF) format, 25 µg per vial, to support reproducible, xeno-free workflows. The protein drives branching morphogenesis and maintains stem and progenitor populations in tissues such as lung, salivary gland, prostate, and epidermis through signaling via FGFR2b on epithelial cells.

The lyophilized preparation is reconstituted in a sterile aqueous buffer, aliquoted to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and stored at -20 °C for long-term stability. Researchers routinely add this growth factor to airway basal cell expansion media and to differentiation protocols that generate lung epithelium from induced pluripotent stem cells. Each lot from STEMCELL Technologies is produced under stringent purity and bioactivity specifications and is functionally validated to ensure consistent performance in cell culture applications, including branching organoid assays where FGF-10 is a core media component.
