Our customer service representatives are available 24 hours, Monday through Friday to assist you.| Introduction | FGF8 is part of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGF family members have wide mitogenic and cell survival activities, and participate in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF8 supports androgen and anchorage independent growth of mammary tumor cells. FGF8 over expression increases tumor growth and angiogensis. The adult expression of FGF-8 gene is restricted to testes and ovaries. FGF8 functions as an embryonic epithelial factor. FGF8 takes part in midbrain and limb development, organogenesis, embryo gastrulation and left-right axis determination. |
| Synonyms | FGF8B, FGF-8B, FGF8-B, KAL6, HBGF-8, HBGF8, AIGF, HBGF-8, MGC149376, fibroblast growth factor 8. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Filtered white lyophilized powder. |
| Formulation | Filtered (0.4 |
| Solubility | Add deionized water to a working concentration approximately 0.5 mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. |
| Stability | Lyophilized FGF-8b Human Recombinant althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Fibroblast Growth Factor-8bshould 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. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Biological Activity | ED50 range = 10-50 ng/mL, determined by the dose dependent proliferation of mouse BALB/3T3 cells. Optimal concentration for individual application should be determined by a dose response assay. |
| Usage | NeoBiolab's products are furnished forLABORATORY RESEARCHUSEONLY. They may not be used as drµgs,agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
