Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small $x$ are described by a $k_T$-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the anomalous dimensions $\gamma_{gg}$ and $\gamma_{qg}/\alpha_S$ are expressed as power series in $\alpha_S \log (1/x)$, or to be precise $\alpha_S/\omega$ where $\omega$ is the moment index. In particular we confront the collinear-factorization expansion with that extracted from the BFKL approach with running coupling included.
