Cat#:RP-1746M;Product Name:Recombinant Mouse FGF18 Protein;Synonym:Fibroblast growth factor 18, FGF-18, zFGF5, Fgf18, D130055P09Rik.;Description:FGF-18 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 180 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21kDa. The FGF-18 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.;Source:E.coli;AA Sequence:EENVDFRIHV ENQTRARDDV SRKQLRLYQL YSRTSGKHIQ VLGRRISARG EDGDKYAQLL VETDTFGSQV RIKGKETEFY LCMNRKGKLV GKPDGTSKEC VFIEKVLENN YTALMSAKYS GWYVGFTKKG RPRKGPKTRE NQQDVHFMKR YPKGQAELQK PFKYTTVTKR SRRIRPTHPG.;Purity:Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.;Bioactivity:The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is < 0.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0×106 units/mg.;Formulation:FGF-18 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.;Stability:Recombinant Proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70℃;Reconstitution:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-18 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.;Storage: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.;
