Introduction
Fibroblast Growth Factor-6 (FGF6) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess extensive mitogenic and cell survival functions, and are involved in various biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. The FGF6 gene displayes oncogenic transforming activity when transfected into mammalian cells. The mouse homolog of the FGF6 gene displays a restricted expression profile predominantly in the myogenic lineage, suggesting a role in muscle regeneration or differentiation.
Description
FGF6 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having containing 169 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.9kDa.
The FGF-6 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
FGF-6 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution in 10mM sodium phosphate and 50mM sodium chloride pH 7.5.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF6 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized FGF6 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-6 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.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
