FGF9-336H
Optional Service: Optional requirements on this protein
Description :
Fibroblast growth factor 9 (glia-activating factor), also known as FGF9 is a glycosylated neurotrophic polypeptide highly expressed in brain. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family that possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. In nervous system, this protein is produced mainly by neurons and may be important for glial cell development.

Molecular Weight :
The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human FGF-9 is Mr 23 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS Page is Mr 25-27 kDa.
State Of Matter :
Lyophilized.
Purity :
>97% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain.
Endotoxin :
<1.0 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method.
Biological Activity :
The biological activity of Human FGF-9 was determined by its ability to stimulate proliferation of a mouse fibroblast cell line, Balb/3T3.
Storage And Stability :
This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer.
