  • Product overview

    FGF9 (Fibroblast growth factor 9) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of proteins. Human FGF9 is a protein of 208 amino acids with sequence similarity of approximately 30 percent to other members of the family of FGF. FGF9 is found in the conditioned medium of a Human glioma cell line and acts on cells of the central nervous system. It is a potent mitogen for glial cells.

    ab100520 FGF9 Human ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human FGF9 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine. This assay employs an antibody specific for human FGF9 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and FGF9 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human FGF9 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of FGF9 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Properties

  • FunctionPlays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. 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.
  • Tissue specificityGlial cells.
  • Involvement in diseaseDefects in FGF9 are the cause of multiple synostoses syndrome type 3 (SYNS3) [MIM:612961]. Multiple synostoses syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by progressive joint fusions of the fingers, wrists, ankles and cervical spine, characteristic facies and progressive conductive deafness.
  • Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Three molecular species were found (30 kDa, 29 kDa and 25 kDa), cleaved at Leu-4, Val-13 and Ser-34 respectively. The smaller ones might be products of proteolytic digestion. Furthermore, there may be a functional signal sequence in the 30 kDa species which is uncleavable in the secretion step.
    N-glycosylated.
