FGF-4 (Fibroblast growth factor-4), Human
FGF-4 encoded by this gene 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-4 is mitogenic for fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vitro and has autocrine transforming potential. It is a potent angiogenesis promoter in vivo and has been investigated as a therapy for coronary artery disease.

Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <2.5 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human FGF-4 is > 4 x 105 IU/mg.
Purity:
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Form:
Lyophilized
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution of PBS containing 0.1% sarkosyl, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
