Name : Human FGF8b Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human FGF8b Protein is expressed from E.coli without tag. It contains Gln23-Arg215.[Accession | P55075-3]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 22.39 kDa same as Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 300mM NaCl (pH 8.5). Normally 8% mannitol is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human FGF8b on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. Cell Based Assay Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is 5-20 ng/mL.

Background :
Two of the four human FGF8 splice isoforms, FGF8a and FGF8b, are expressed in the mid-hindbrain region during development. Although the only difference between these isoforms is the presence of an additional 11 amino acids at the N terminus of FGF8b, these isoforms possess remarkably different abilities to pattern the midbrain and anterior hindbrain.

Synonyms :
FGF8b; FGF-8b; FGF-8; FGF8; FGF 8; AIGF; HBGF-8; HBGF8; HBGF 8;
