FGF-8 is a heparin binding protein of the FGF family which works to control cell division, differentiation, and function. These proteins are especially prominent during prenatal development and postnatal growth. FGF-8 can be spliced in four different ways. The products of the FGF-8 splicing events are as follows: FGF8A, 8B, 8E and 8F. This recombinant product represents isoform 8B.
Aliases- FGF-8, Androgen-induced growth factor, AIGF, Heparin-binding growth factor 8, HBGF-8
- Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8)
Formulation- Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution in 20mM phosphate buffer, 0.2 µm EDTA and µm NaCl (pH 8.0)
Endotoxin Level- <1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Storage Condition- The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at +2° to +8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
