FGF5 Human

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.Fibroblast Growth Factor-5 (FGF5) belongs to the FGF family of mitogenic peptides. In vitro, rhFGF5 is a mitogen for Balb/3T3 fibroblasts and bovine heart endothelial cells. FGF5 is also a major muscle-derived survival factor for cultured spinal motoneurons. In vivo, FGF5 is assumed to play central roles in both embryology and neurobiology. Developmentally, FGF5 mRNA is originally found in the embryoblast followed by the lateral somatic mesoderm, where it may play a part in angiogenesis, as well as the myotomes cranial to the tail region, where it may delay terminal myoblast differentiation during cell migration.FGF5 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having containing 252 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 27.7kDa.The FGF-5 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
