Biological Activity

Description

Animal-Free FGF-8a Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived animal-FreeFGF-8a protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag. This product is for cell culture use only.

Background

FGF-8b plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell migration. It is required for normal brain, eye, ear, and limb development during embryogenesis. Additionally, FGF-8b is essential for the normal development of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal system (by similar: PubMed:16384934, PubMed:16597617, PubMed:8663044). It also functions in neurite outgrowth in hippocampal cells (by similar: PubMed:21576111).

Verified Bioactivity

Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <2 μg/mL.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 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.
