  • Background Information
    The FGFs plays an important role in regulating tissue growth, morphogenesis and tissue repair. FGF-18 is a newly discovered heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptors. The human FGF-18 is a 21.2 kDa protein containing 182 amino acid residues.
  • Handling
    Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
  • Usage
    For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans
  • Properties
    Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
