Description
Activin AB protein is a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily and plays a key role in various biological processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. It is involved in embryonic development, tissue repair and immune regulation. FGF-9 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived FGF-9 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-hFc labeled tag.
Background
The FGF-9 Protein, belonging to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, exhibits broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, participating in various biological processes such as embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, and tumor growth and invasion. Originally identified as a secreted factor with growth-stimulating effects on cultured glial cells, this protein is predominantly produced by neurons in the nervous system, suggesting its importance in glial cell development. The expression of the mouse homolog of FGF-9 is contingent on Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling, and its absence in mice led to a male-to-female sex reversal phenotype, indicating a role in testicular embryogenesis. Noteworthy is the biased expression of FGF-9, with elevated levels detected in the kidney (RPKM 6.4), adrenal (RPKM 2.1), and 10 other tissues, underscoring its potential significance in various physiological contexts across multiple organs.
Verified Bioactivity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is ≤4.765 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is ≥2.099×105 units/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4 or PBS, pH 7.4, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween80.
<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 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.
