Human FGF-8b Protein, His tag (Animal-Free)
FGF-8 is a heparin binding growth factor belonging 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. There are 4 known alternate spliced forms of FGF8; FGF-8b, FGF-8B, FGF-8E and FGF-8F. The human and murine FGF-8b and B are identical, unlike human and mouse FGF-8E and F, which are 98% identical. FGF-8 targets mammary carcinoma cells and other cells expressing the FGF receptors.
