Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.
This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute, ERS Genomics Limited and Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the licenses and patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

- Activity summary
FGF21 or fibroblast growth factor 21 is an important metabolic regulator. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family but unlike many others FGF21 functions mainly in endocrine signaling. The molecular weight of FGF21 is approximately 22 kDa. This protein is expressed in tissues such as the liver adipose tissue and pancreas. Because of its endocrine roles FGF21 travels through the bloodstream to exert its functions on distant organs.
- Biological function summary
FGF21 influences glucose and lipid metabolism. It does not act as part of a larger protein complex. Instead it directly affects metabolic processes enhancing insulin sensitivity and lipid oxidation while reducing body weight. These actions help maintain energy balance and homeostasis making FGF21 an important player in metabolic control.
- Pathways
FGF21 plays a significant role in the insulin signaling pathway and PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway. These pathways regulate cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis respectively. FGF21 interacts with other molecules such as PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) to exert its effects demonstrating its integration into broader metabolic networks. FGF21's interaction with these pathways highlights its function in energy utilization and storage.
- Associated diseases and disorders
FGF21 has connections to conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its role in improving insulin sensitivity and promoting lipid oxidation makes it a molecule of interest in combating metabolic syndrome. FGF21 also has a relationship with hepatic proteins such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) which play roles in liver functioning. Understanding these relationships offers insights into potential therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic disorders.
