Fibroblast Growth Factor 9/FGF-9 Protein (recombinant human)

Activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells.The ED50 for this effect is less than 5 ng/ml. Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 9 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ser208 is expressed. Sequence: Met 1-Ser208. Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 25 kDa. Protein function: Fibroblast Growth Factor 9 (FGF-9) 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 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. In addition, FGF-9 may have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development, gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.
