Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF 8 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | ||
Stability | Lyophilized FGF 8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18?C. Upon reconstitution FGF 8 should be stored at 4?C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18?C. | ||
Biological Activity | The ED50, as determined by its ability to induce proliferation of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, is 5-7ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2x105units/mg. | ||
Formulation | Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 5mM Na3PO4 and 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5. |
FGF8 is part of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGF family members have wide mitogenic and cell survival activities, and participate in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF8 supports androgen and anchorage independent growth of mammary tumor cells. FGF8 over expression increases tumor growth and angiogensis. The adult expression of FGF-8 gene is restricted to testes and ovaries. FGF8 functions as an embryonic epithelial factor. FGF8 takes part in midbrain and limb development, organogenesis, embryo gastrulation and left-right axis determination.
