Product Information

Formulation

With carrier: Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of hFGF9 in 20 mM Tris, pH 7.2 containing 20 μg BSA per 1 μg hFGF9. Carrier free: Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of hFGF9 in 20 mM Tris, pH 7.2.

Storage

Stable in lyophilized state at 4°C for 1 year after receipt. Sterile stock solutions reconstituted with carrier protein are stable at 4°C for 2 months and at -20°C for 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Maintain sterility. Storage at -20°C should be in a manual defrost freezer.

Product Description

MW (kDa)	23
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE of 6 μg reduced (+) and nonreduced (-) recombinant hFGF9. All lots are greater than 95% pure.
Endotoxin	Less than 0.01 ng endotoxin/1 μg hFGF9.
Activity	The bioactivity of hFGF9 was determined in an NIH/3T3 cell proliferation assay. The ED₅₀ of each lot is between 0.05-0.80 ng/ml.
Molecular Formula	Recombinant hFGF9 has a calculated MW of 23,141 Da. DTT-reduced and nonreduced protein migrates as a 23 kDa polypeptide. The expected amino terminus of recombinant hFGF9 was verified by amino acid sequencing.

Source / Purification

Recombinant human FGF9 (hFGF9) Leu4-Ser208 (Accession #NP_31371) was expressed in E.coli at Cell Signaling Technology.

Background

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 9 is a member of the larger FGF family of proteins that play key roles in development, cancer, and metabolism. Binding of FGF9 to its receptor requires interaction with heparin and induces receptor dimerization, subsequent transphosphorylation, and downstream activation of Erk, Akt, and PLCγ pathways (1). FGF9 is important for organ development and bone repair (2-4).
