Fibroblast Growth Factor-8 Mouse Recombinant
FGF8 is part of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGF family members have wide mitogenic and cell survival activities, and participate in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF8 supports androgen and anchorage independent growth of mammary tumor cells. FGF8 over expression increases tumor growth and angiogensis. The adult expression of FGF-8 gene is restricted to testes and ovaries. FGF8 functions as an embryonic epithelial factor. FGF8 takes part in midbrain and limb development, organogenesis, embryo gastrulation and left-right axis determination.
| Description | FGF-8 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 246 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28.1kDa. The FGF-8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Synonyms | Fibroblast growth factor 8, FGF-8, Androgen-induced growth factor, AIGF, Heparin-binding growth factor 8, HBGF-8, Fgf8. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |

| Purity | >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
| Formulation | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. FGF-8 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50, as determined by the dose-dependent a cell proliferation assay using NR6R-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells is <25 ng/ml in the presence of 0.1 ug/ml heprin, corresponding to a specific activity of > 4.0×104 units/mg. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-8 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
