ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Fibroblast growth factor 20

CSC-CTK0171

FGF-20 is secreted heparin binding growth factor that is a member of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF- 20 signals through the FGFR 2c and 3c and is expressed during limb and brain development. Recombinant human FGF-20 is a 23.2 kDa protein containing 209 amino acid residues.

Human

Human FGF20 expressed in E.coli

23.2 kDa

CAT# CSC-CTK0171-15 (15 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0171-75 (75 μg)

E.coli

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

The ED50, as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors, is 1 x 10^5 units/mg.

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Sterile, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized FGF-20 should be reconstituted in sterile, ultra-pure water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into water or other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.

The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted rHu FGF-20 should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
