mFGF-18 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. FGF-18 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 180 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21kDa.The FGF-18 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) is a member of the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. FGF18 is a heparin binding growth factor with a core 120 amino acid FGF domain which allows for a common tertiary structure. FGFs are expressed in the course of the embryonic development and in restricted adult tissues. FGF-18 is an indispensable regulator of long bone and calvarial development. FGF-18 signals via FGFR 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4.
