		Technical Data
F4211	Fibroblast Growth Factor 6, Recombinant, Human (FGF6)	5ug 25ug

Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

The FGFs play key roles in controlling tissue growth, morphogenesis and repair in animals. FGF-6 is a newly discovered heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptors. Recombinant Human FGF-6 is a 18.7kD protein containing 168 amino residues.

Biological Activity:
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a speci c activity of 2 x10e6 units/mg.

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile ddH2O. Aliquot and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
