Human FGF 18 Protein

• Catalog Number: orb425468
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Recombinant of human FGF 18 protein
• Form/Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Buffer/Preservatives: FGF-18 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Protein Sequence: AEENVDFRIH VENQTRARDD VSRKQLRLYQ LYSRTSGKHI QVLGRRISAR GEDGDKYAQL LVETDTFGSQ VRIKGKETEF YLCMNRKGKL VGKPDGTSKE CVFIEKVLEN NYTALMSAKY SGWYVGFTKK GRPRKGPKTR ENQQDVHFMK RYPKGQPELQ KPFKYTTVTK RSRRIRPTHP A
• Application notes: Cytokines And Growth Factors
• Source: Escherichia Coli
• Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is 2.0×106 units/mg.
• Solubility (25°C): It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-18 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Storage: Stability: Lyophilized FGF-18 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-18 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
• Alternative names: Fibroblast growth factor 18, FGF-18, zFGF5, FGF18.
