FGF-4 Protein, Human (153a.a)

The FGF-4 protein coordinates embryonic development, cell proliferation and differentiation and is critical for normal limb and heart valve development. FGF-4 may promote embryonic molar tooth bud development by inducing key gene expression. FGF-4 Protein, Human (153a.a) is the recombinant human-derived FGF-4 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of FGF-4 Protein, Human (153a.a) is 153 a.a., with molecular weight of ~16.0 kDa.

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.

1.The cell proliferation assay using MCF7 Human breast cancer cells has an ED₅₀ value of 2-20 ng/mL.
2.Human intestinal organoids (ipsc source) were cultured with Activin A , BMP-4(sample) , EGF , Wnt3a, Noggin, R-spondin 1 and FGF-4 . The organoids showed good morphology.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, 500 mM NaCl, pH7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 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).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. 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.

Room temperature in continental US;may vary elsewhere.
