Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-18 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | ||
Stability | Lyophilized FGF-18 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C . Upon reconstitution FGF-18 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C . For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. | ||
Biological Activity | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF-receptors is< 0.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of> 2.0б┴106 units/mg. | ||
Formulation | FGF-18 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
Fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) is a member of the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. FGF18 is a 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.
