Description:
Background: Rat and mouse FGF-9 show a very high homology to human FGF-9. The transcripts for FGF-9 have been found in brain and in kidney tissue. Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members poss

23.3 kDa
Physical State:
Lyophilized
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution in 10 mM Tris, pH 8.0 + 0.15 M Amonium Sulfate.
Purity:
>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity:
ED50: <0.5 ng/ml (Calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of BAF3 cells expressing FGF receptors (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake).
Specific Activity:
2 x 10E6 U/mg
Endotoxin Level:
<0.1 ng/�g
Amino Acid Sequence:
Pro-Leu-Gly-Glu-Val (first five N-terminal amino acids)
Reconstitution:
Centrifuge vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in sterile ddH2O to a concentration of < 0.1 mg/ml. The solution can then be further diluted in other aqueous buffers.
Storage/Stability:
Lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, but is preferably stored desiccated at -20℃C. After reconstitution, stable for 1 week at 2-4℃C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20℃C with a carrier protein (0.1%
