Storage: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.
Biological Activity
GF-8a Protein, Human is an isoform of FGF-8, an essential factor during embryonic development, involved in the progression of prostate cancer.
Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 is an essential factor during embryonic development, overexpressed in several tumor types. Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 stimulates anti-apoptotic pathways and prevents tumor cell death[1].
1.The ED50 is <500 ng/mL as measured by Balb/3T3 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >2 × 103 units/mg.
2.Measured in cell proliferation assay using NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is < 300 ng/mL in the presence of 10 µg/mL heparin.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder
1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

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 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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
