Active Recombinant Human FGF18 Protein (Ala27-Arg199), C-His tagged, Animal-free, Carrier-free

• Cat.No.: FGF18-308H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FGF18 Protein (Ala27-Arg199) with C-His tag was expressed in E. coli and Animal-free as well as Carrier-free.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: Ala27-Arg199
• Description: Fibroblast Growth Factors-18 (FGF-18) is a 24 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 207 amino acid residues. FGF-18 is mainly expressed from glandular and luminal cells, cardiomyocytes, breast myoepithelial cells and endometrial ciliated cells. FGF-18 involved cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. FGF-18 is an important role in skeletal growth and development, stimulates hepatic and intestinal proliferation.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Bio-activity: Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is 1.3-2.0 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human FGF-18 is > 5 × 10⁵ IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 21.11 kDa.
  The protein migrates as 20 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
• Storage: This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
  -20 or -80 centigrade for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
  Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
• Shipping: The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20 centigrade or lower for long term storage.
