{"product_id":"abm222342","title":"Recombinant Human FGF-21 protein","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBackground\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) belongs to the large FGF family which is encoded by the FGF-21 gene and it is specifically induced by HMGCS2 activity. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure and they are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1\/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4\/GLUT4 expression) and the activity depends on the presence of KLB. FGF-21 contains a 28 a.a. signal sequence and a 181 a.a. mature region but show limited binding to heparin. In addition, Mature human FGF-21 respectively shows 81 % a.a. identity to Mouse and rat FGF-21, and is known to be active on Mouse cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eExpression system\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eEscherichia coli.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePurity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u0026gt; 96 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eApproximately 19.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eLess than 1 EU\/μg of rHuFGF-21 as determined by LAL method.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eForm\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
