Description
Product Name: | Mouse FGF 18 Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB0235 |
Size: | 25µg |
Species: | Mouse |
Target: | FGF 18 |
Synonyms: | Fibroblast growth factor 18, FGF-18, zFGF5, Fgf18, D130055P09Rik. |
Source: | Escherichia Coli |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | FGF-18 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2�m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-18 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability: | Lyophilized FGF-18 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-18 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity: | Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |

Biological Activity: | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is�< 0.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of�> 2.0�106 units/mg. |
UniProt Code: | O89101 |
Fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) is a member of the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. FGF18 is a heparin binding growth factor with a core 120 amino acid FGF domain which allows for a common tertiary structure. FGFs are expressed in the course of the embryonic development and in restricted adult tissues. FGF-18 is an indispensable regulator of long bone and calvarial development. FGF-18 signals via FGFR 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4.
FGF-18 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 180 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21kDa.The FGF-18 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
