Active Recombinant Human FGF21 Protein (His29-Ser209), C-His tagged, Animal-free, Carrier-free

• Cat.No.: FGF21-117H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FGF21 Protein (His29-Ser209) with C-His tag was expressed in E. coli and Animal-free as well as Carrier-free.

Specification

• Description: Fibroblast Growth Factors-21 (FGF-21) is a 22.3 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 209 amino acid residues. FGF-21 is expressed from liver and cardiomyocytes. FGF-21 is a key protein that regulates important metabolic pathways, and modulates cellular function, metabolism, and senescence. It can stimulate glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1 /GLUT1 expression.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Form: Lyophilized
• Bio-activity: Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in BaF3 cells transfected with human FGFRIIIc. The ED50 for this effect is < 0.4 μg/mL.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 20.35 kDa.
  The protein migrates as 25 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
• Protein length: His29-Ser209
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
• Storage: This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
  -20 or -80 centigrade for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
  Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
• Shipping: The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20 centigrade or lower for long term storage.

Q&As

How is FGF21 expression regulated in adipose tissue?

FGF21 expression in adipose tissue is regulated by various factors, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation.

What are the effects of FGF21 on lipid metabolism?

FGF21 influences lipid metabolism by promoting the utilization of fatty acids for energy, contributing to the regulation of lipid homeostasis.

Can FGF21 be a biomarker for metabolic health?

FGF21 levels are being explored as potential biomarkers for metabolic health, reflecting conditions such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Is FGF21 involved in the regulation of insulin sensitivity?

Yes, FGF21 plays a role in improving insulin sensitivity, making it a potential target for interventions in insulin resistance-associated conditions.

Does FGF21 have roles in energy expenditure?

Yes, FGF21 influences energy expenditure by promoting thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, contributing to overall metabolic regulation.

Are there gender-specific differences in FGF21 levels?

Gender-specific differences in FGF21 levels have been reported, with some studies suggesting higher circulating FGF21 concentrations in females.

What signaling pathways does FGF21 activate?

FGF21 activates signaling pathways such as the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, which contributes to its metabolic effects.
