| Gene ID |
26281 |
| Accession | Q9NP95 |
| Alternative Name | FGF-20<br/>Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20) |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | FGF-20 is a heparin binding protein of the FGF family which works to control cell division, differentiation, and function. These proteins are especially prominent during prenatal development and postnatal growth. FGF-20 shares a high degree of homology with FGF-9 and FGF-16. The group of receptors which FGF-20 binds to comprises of FGFR1c, FGFR2c, FGFR3b, FGFR3c and FGFR4. It is shown that FGF-20 is found in a variety of cells, including but limited to, dopaminergic neurons, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and breast epithelium. |
| Accession | Q9NP95 |
| Functions | Measured in a cell proliferation assay using NR6R-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution in 10mM MOPS, 10mM ammonium sulphate, 0.2mM DTT and 0.2mM EDTA (pH 7.0). |
| Solubility | Reconstitute at 10 μg/mL in sterile PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin |
| Appearance | Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight | 23.5 |
| Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration | <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method |
| Shipping Condition | Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition | The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? - 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
