Active Recombinant Human/Mouse FGF8 Protein

• Cat.No.: FGF8-92H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human/Mouse FGF8 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF-8) is a critical mitogenic factor that is required for normal development of the eye, ear, brain, and limb. FGF-8 functions broadly to promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Overexpression of FGF-8 increases tumor growth and angiogenesis. Human and mouse FGF-8 proteins show 100% homology.
