Summary
Fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGF-9 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. This protein was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. FGF-9 is a monomer and interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. The rat FGF-9 shares 98 % a.a. sequence identity with human FGF-9.
Source
Escherichia coli.
Molecular Weight
Approximately 23.1 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 205 amino acids.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by thymidine uptake assay using FGF-receptors transfected BaF3 cells is less than 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 106 IU/mg.
Appearance
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris, 400 mM NaCl, pH 8.0.
Endotoxin
Less than 1 EU/ug of rRtFGF-9-1 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Stability and Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
