Active Recombinant Human FGF21 Protein

• Cat.No.: FGF21-85H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FGF21 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Description: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is an endocrine hormone that regulates energy homeostasis and exerts cardioprotective functions during heart injury. FGF-21 is expressed in the liver, pancreas, heart, and adipose tissues. FGF-21 signaling is activated through the FGFR1c receptor and β-Klotho co-receptor. FGF-21 is an important regulator of glucose uptake and reduces cell apoptosis under stress conditions.
• Bio-activity: 3T3 proliferation with β-klotho and heparin, ED50≤500 ng/mL (≥2.0 x 10^3 unit/mg)
• Molecular Mass: Monomer, 19.5 kDa (182 aa)
• AA Sequence: MHPIPDSSPLLQFGGQVRQRYLYTDDAQQTEAHLEIREDGTVGGAADQSPESLLQLKALKPGVIQILGVKTSRFLCQRPDGALYGSLHFDPEACSFRELLLEDGYNVYQSEAHGLPLHLPGNKSPHRDPAPRGPARFLPLPGLPPALPEPPGILAPQPPDVGSSDPLSMVGPSQGRSPSYAS
