Recombinant Human Fibrobalst Growth Factor-9 (rHuFGF-9)

SKU: orb1494974

Description

Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) belongs to the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (aa) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGF-9 targets glial cells, astrocytes cells and other cells that express the FGFR 1c, 2c, 3b, 3c, and 4.

Images & Validation

−

Application Notes	We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Key Properties

−

Source	Escherichia coli.
Biological Activity	Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors is ≤0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2×106 units/mg.
Molecular Weight	Approximately 23.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 207 amino acids.

Purification	>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Purity	>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Endotoxins	Less than 1EU/mg of rHuFGF-9 as determined by LAL method.

Storage & Handling

−

Storage	This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Form/Appearance	Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Buffer/Preservatives	Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
