Physical Appearance:

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation:

Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in 2 × PBS, 600 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM mercaptoethanol.

Endotoxin:

Less than 1 EU/µg of rMuKGF-2/FGF-10 as determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Stability & Storage:

Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.
- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Usage:

This material is offered by Creative Biomart for research, For research and further manufacturing use only.

background:

Fibroblast growth factor 10 belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, which is involved in a variety of biological processes such as embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. Like most other FGF family members, FGF-10 also has a heparin-binding domain and plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. In addition, FGF-10 may take parts in wound healing and is required for normal branching morphogenesis. Recombinant murine FGF-10 contains a 173 amino acids and it shares 94 % and 100 % a.a. sequence identity with human and rat FGF-10.
