FGF-4 may promote embryonic molar tooth bud development by inducing key gene expression.

Background

FGF-4 Protein assumes a pivotal role in orchestrating embryonic development, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation. Its indispensability is evident in the normal development of limbs and cardiac valves during embryogenesis. Additionally, FGF-4 may contribute to embryonic molar tooth bud development by inducing the expression of key genes, including MSX1, MSX2, and SDC1, in dental mesenchyme cells, thus highlighting its diverse regulatory functions. FGF-4 engages in intricate interactions with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4, forming molecular alliances critical for signaling cascades. The binding affinity between FGF-4 and its receptors is potentiated by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, serving as indispensable coreceptors in this complex regulatory network. These interactions underscore the multifaceted and essential role of FGF-4 in driving fundamental processes during development.

Verified Bioactivity

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 0.1% sarkosyl in PBS, pH 8.0, trehalose.

Endotoxin Level

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is recommended to reconstitute to a concentration of 100-200 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
