Product Description:

Protein Description:

FGF-21 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. FGF-21 is produced by hepatocytes in response to free fatty acid (FFA) stimulation of a PPARa/RXR dimeric complex. This situation occurs clinically during starvation, or following the ingestion of a high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet. Upon FGF-21 secretion, white adipose tissue is induced to release FFAs from triglyceride stores. Once FFAs reach hepatocytes, they are oxidized and reduced to acetyl-CoA.

Protein Accession:Q9JJN1.1

Activity:

Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in NIH 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells in the presence of mouse Klotho beta and heparin. The ED50 for this effect is < 2 ug/mL.

Endotoxin level:<0.1 EU per 1 ug of the protein by the LAL method.

Calculated Molecular Weight:20.76 kDa

Formulation:The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution:

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 ug/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Shipping:Blue Ice

Stability and Storage:

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius or -80 degrees Celsius for 3-6 months.

Category:Cytokines
