    GlossaryKeratinocyte Growth Factor (FGF7)

    stimulates skin and hair cell growth and repair

    Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as Fibroblast Growth Factor 7 (FGF-7), is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth and repair of skin and hair. It specifically stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, which are the primary cells found in the outer layer of the skin and hair follicles. This makes KGF important in wound healing and potentially beneficial in treating conditions like alopecia.
