FGF-18 蛋白, Rat

FGF-18 Protein, Rat is a heparin-binding polypeptide growth factor, involved in cartilage growth, maturation and the development of functional cartilage and bone tissue.

成纤维细胞生长因子 18 (FGF18) 是一种分泌型肝素结合多肽生长因子，与 FGF8 和 175 相关，并已被证明在不同器官中具有多种功能。FGF18 参与软骨生长和成熟，并参与功能性软骨和骨组织的发育。它还参与成熟软骨10-13 内的过程，并被证明具有增强再生和修复的作用^[1]。成纤维细胞生长因子 18 (FGF18) 在骨骼生长和肢体发育中发挥重要作用，可能通过调节成骨细胞、软骨细胞和破骨细胞^[2]。

1.The ED₅₀ is <0.5 µg/mL as measured by 3T3 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 10³ units/mg.
2.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Rat FGF18 at 10 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Biotinylated Rat FGFR4 protein. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <0.47 μg/mL.

无菌粉末

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS or 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

<0.2 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.
