FGF-9 Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 Rat Recombinant Protein

• Description:

  Rat FGF9 Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 207 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.3kDa. The FGF-9 Mouse Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

• Synonyms:

  GAF (Glia-activating factor) ; HBGF-9; MGC119914; MGC119915; FGF-9

• Gene Name:

  FGF9

• UniProt:

  P36364

• Reactivity:

  Rat

• Tissue Specificity:

  Brain and kidney.

• Source:

  Escherichia coli

• Sequence:

  [object Object]

• Purification:

  Greater than 95.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC and (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

• Bioactivity:

  The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of BAF3 cells expressing FGF receptors (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is less than 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2,000,000 Units/mg.

• Form:

  Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

• Reconstitution:

  It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rat FGF-9 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

• Function:

  Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. May have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development, gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Available

• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized Rat Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF9 Rat Recombinant should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

• Other Gene Names:

  Fibroblast growth factor 9

• Subcellular Location:

  Secreted.
