Description:Human FGF-9 protein, also known as fibroblast growth factor 9, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It functions as a signaling molecule, regulating various cellular processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. FGF-9 protein plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes, making it an important focus of research in the field of molecular biology and medicine.
Source: E.coli-derived human FGF-9 protein, Leu4-Ser208, with C-terminal His tag.
Purity: ≥90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin: < 1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Predicted N terminal: Met.
Molecular Mass: The recombinant human FGF-9 consists of 212 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 25.2 kDa.
Formulation: Supplied as sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
SDS-PAGE:
The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 4 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.5 × 105 IU/mg. Fully biologically active when compared to standard.
Handling: Centrifuge vial prior to opening.
Do not vortex after reconstitution.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution: Initially reconstitute in water to 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Store at 2℃ to 8℃ for up to 1 week or prepare for extended storage.
Extended Storage: After initial reconstitution, further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA). Store working aliquots at -20℃ to 80℃.
