KGF er et protein, der retter sig mod epitelceller ved at binde sig til specifikke celle- overflade - receptorer og derved stimulere proliferation, differentiering og opregulering af cytobeskyttende mekanismer (f. eks. induktion af antioxidantenzymer).
KGF is a protein that targets epithelial cells by binding to specific cell-surface receptors thereby stimulating proliferation, differentiation, and upregulation of cytoprotective mechanisms (eg, induction of antioxidant enzymes).
