Species: Human Expressing host: HEK293 cells Description: Recombinant Human FGF-18 Protein is produced by HEK293 cells expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Glu28-Ala207) of human FGF-18 (Accession #NP_003853.1) fused with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Tag: C-His Purity: > 95% by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: preparation: Lyophilized from a 0.22 m filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Storage Store the lyophilized protein at -20C to -80C for 12 months.
After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20C for 3 months, at 2-8C for up to 1 week.Unopened freeze-dried powder,Store at -20 to -80 °C for twelve months
Redissolution: Centrifge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid votex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles.Redissolution:Store at -20 to -80 °C,avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles
Background Information : Fibroblast growth factor 18 (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 FGF18 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. Experiment datas identified FGF18 as a selective ligand for FGFR3 in limb bud mesenchymal cells, which suppressed proliferation and promoted their differentiation and production of cartilage matrix. FGF18 appears to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation positively in osteogenesis and negatively in chondrogenesis. GeneID 8817 Swiss Prot O76093 Alias: ZFGF5; FGF-18FGF18MedChemExpress (MCE) recombinant proteins include: cytokines, enzymes, growth factors, hormones, receptors, transcription factors, antibody fragments, etc. They are often essential for supporting cell growth, stimulating cell signaling pathways, triggering or inhibiting cell differentiation; and are useful tools for elucidating protein structure and function, understanding disease onset and progression, and validating pharmaceutical targets. At MedChemExpress (MCE), we strive to provide products with only the highest quality. Protein identity, purity and biological activity are assured by our robust quality control and assurance procedures.
