Description
The fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF-4) gene was identified as HST-1 gene from human stomach cancers and Kaposi’s sarcoma by a NIH3T3 transforming assay. FGF-4 has pleiotropic roles in many cell types and tissues, it is a mitogenic, angiogenic and survival factor, which is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation and in a variety of development processes.
Molecular Weight
Approximately 16.8 kDa.
Purity
> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin
<0.1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge tubes before opening. Dissolve lyophilized protein with PBS to ensure the concentration is greater than 100 ug/mL.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
