Recombinant Mouse Fgf18 protein, His/S-tagged

• Cat.No.: Fgf18-184M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Mouse Fgf18 fused with His/S tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His&S
• Description: FGF18 is 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, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. It has been shown in vitro that this protein is able to induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Studies of the similar proteins in mouse and chick suggested that this protein is a pleiotropic growth factor that stimulates proliferation in a number of tissues, most notably the liver and small intestine. Knockout studies of the similar gene in mice implied the role of this protein in regulating proliferation and differentiation of midline cerebellar structures.
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
