Proteins and Peptides

Peptide 

Recombinant full length FGF9 protein (Human), MW 23kDa. A 208 amino acid residue protein that contains a single, potential N-linked glycosylation site. Source: Insect cells.

Specificity 

[Specific Activity: 6.6 x 105 units/mg]

Tested applications 
(see key)

FuncS, SDS-PAGE

Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
SDS-PAGE: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
Biological Activity: The activity was estimated by stimulation of 3H-thymidine incorporation in quiescent Balb/c3T3 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1.5-2.0 ng/ml. Maximal effect for DNA synthesis was observed at 5-7 ng/ml rhFGF9.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

FGF9 is a heparin binding growth factor, which is a member of the FGF family of proteins. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF9 is produced mainly by neurons and may have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development; gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.
