FGF-8a
Fibroblast growth factor 8a (FGF-8a) is a member of the FGF family and plays a key role in the regulation of embryogenesis, cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration. FGF8a is often used for the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and neural stem cells.

FEATURED PRODUCTS
R-spondin 1
Qk006 is animal-free and not glycosylated to ensure production of homogeneous protein and enhanced comparability between batches. Used to replace R-spondin conditioned media for improved reproducibility in chemically defined organoid culture media.
FGF-10
High purity and bioactivity 17 kDa non-glycosylated, bioactive domain of human fibroblast growth factor 10, animal-derived component free (ACDF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
Noggin
Qkine human noggin protein is a highly pure 46kDa bioactive dimer for reproducible results in organoid culture.
HGF-NK1
Human HGF (NK1) protein is a potent, high purity NK1 isoform of human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) that promotes efficient differentiation of human iPSCs to hepatocyte-like cells at just 10 ng/ml with highly homogeneous expression of the hepatic marker, HNF4α.
