Recombinant Mouse Fgf7 protein

• Cat.No.: Fgf7-649M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Mouse Fgf7 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 163
• Description: Murine KGF-1 also known as Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7), is encoded by the FGF7 gene. KGF-1 only binds to the b splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGFR2b/KGFR. Affinity between KGF-1 and its receptor can be increased by heparin or heparan sulfate proteoglycan. FGF-10, also called keratinocyte growth factor 2 (KGF-2), shares 51 % amino acid sequence identity and similar function to KGF-1, but uses an additional receptor, FGFR2c. KGF-1 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. KGF-1 actives on keratinocytes, and exhibits mitogenic activity for epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts. KGF-1 has species crossactive, murine KGF-1 shares 96 % amino acid sequence identity with human and rat.
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution in 20 mM PB, pH 8.0, 1 M NaCl.
• Bio-activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by thymidine uptake assay using FGF-receptors transfected BaF3 cells is less than 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 10⁵ IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: Approximately 18.7 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 163 amino acids.

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/µg of rMuKGF-1/FGF-7 as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: >96% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
