Recombinant Human FGF21 Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: FGF21 (His29-Ser209) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 45.5 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of FGF21-hFc is approximately 40-55 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human FGF21 protein with C-terminal human Fc tagTheis gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes. This protein is a secreted endocrine factor that functions as a major metabolic regulator. The encoded protein stimulates the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue.
