Gibco™ Human FGF-10 Recombinant Protein

Beschrijving

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in 5 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4, to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Further dilutions should be made in aqueous buffers supplemented with carrier protein, such as 0.1-1.0% BSA Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for up to 1 month, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage. Working aliquots stored with carrier protein are stable for at least 3 months at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

FGF10 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. This protein exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7. Studies of the mouse homolog of suggested that this gene is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of lim bud formation. This protein is also implicated to be a primary factor in the process of wound healing.
