Description   Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 (FGF-9) is a heparin binding growth factor that belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. 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. FGF-9 was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. In nervous system, this protein is produced mainly by neurons and may be important for glial cell development. Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-9(rhFGF-9) produced in E. coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 208 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-9 has a molecular mass of 23.4 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at Pepmic.
Molecular Weight   23.4 kDa, observed by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Purity   > 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Storage   Lyophilized recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-9(rhFGF-9) remains stable up to 6 months at -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, rhFGF-9 should be stable up to 2 weeks at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C.
