Identification
Name Palifermin
Accession Number DB00039 (BIOD00042, BTD00042)
Type biotech
Description Palifermin is a recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). It is 140 residues long, and is produced using E. coli.
Structure
Categories (*)
Molecular Weight 16192.7000
Groups approved
Monoisotopic Weight Not Available
Pharmacology
Indication For treatment of oral mucositis associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Mechanism of action Kepivance binds to the human keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) receptor found on buccal cell surfaces. The binding activates a Ras-MapK (Map kinase) signaling pathway which leads to the transcriptional activation of many proteins important for cell growth and survival.
