FGF6 Human

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.Fibroblast Growth Factor-6 (FGF6) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess extensive mitogenic and cell survival functions, and are involved in various biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. The FGF6 gene displayes oncogenic transforming activity when transfected into mammalian cells. The mouse homolog of the FGF6 gene displays a restricted expression profile predominantly in the myogenic lineage, suggesting a role in muscle regeneration or differentiation.FGF6 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having containing 169 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.9kDa.The FGF-6 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Name Alternative

Fibroblast Growth Factor 6, Heparin Secretory-Transforming Protein 2, Heparin-Binding Growth Factor 6, HBGF-6, HSTF-2, FGF-6, HST-2, HST2, HSTF2, FGF6.

Purification

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Components

FGF-6 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution in 10mM sodium phosphate and 50mM sodium chloride pH 7.5.It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF6 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized FGF6 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-6 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
