Active Recombinant Human FGF20 Protein

• Cat.No.: FGF20-331H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FGF20 was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family. The fibroblast growth factors possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This gene product is a secreted neurotrophic factor but lacks a typical signal peptide. It is expressed in normal brain, particularly the cerebellum, and may regulate central nervous system development and function. Homodimerization of this protein was shown to regulate its receptor binding activity and concentration gradient in the extracellular matrix. Genetic variations of this gene have been associated with Parkinson disease susceptibility.
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µM filtered solution of 20mM phosphate buffer, 100mM NaCl, pH 7.2
• Bio-activity: ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is less than or equal to 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1 x 10^5 units/mg.
• Molecular Mass: 23.2 kDa
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/µg of protein (<1EU/µg).
• Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining
• Concentration: Resuspend the protein in the desired concentration in proper buffer
