Overview
Regulatory Status: RUO
Shipping:
Blue Ice or room temp
Storage:
The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted protein is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing the recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-18, zFGF5 , FGFI
Background:
FGF-18 is a heparin-binding growth factor that belongs to the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-18 is an essential regulator of long bone and calvarial development. FGF-18 signals through FGFR 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4. Recombinant Human FGF-18 derived from E.coli is a 20.1 kDa protein consisting of 173 amino acid residues, resulting from C-terminal truncation of the full length protein.
Biological Activity:
Determined by a cell proliferation assay using Balb/c 3T3 cells. The expected ED50 is < 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1 x 105 units/mg.
