Name :
Recombinant Human FGF6 Protein
Biological Activity :
Background :
FGF6, also known as FGF-6, belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. Members of this family 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. FGF6 plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, angiogenesis and myogenesis. It is also required for normal muscle regeneration. FGF6 gene displayed oncogenic transforming activity when transfected into mammalian cells.
Biological Activity :
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using BALB/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is typically 1-6 ng/mL.

Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of human FGF6 (NP_066276.2)(Gly41-Ile208) was expressed with a N-terminal Met.
Buffer Solution :
Lyophilized from sterile PBS pH 7.4Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % – 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet.
Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
Redissolution :
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
