FGF-18, human recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.
A heparin binding growth factor, stimulating the proliferation and activation of cells expressing FGFR
Biomolecule/Target: FGF-18
Alternates names: Fibroblast Growth Factor-18, zFGF5, FGFI, UNQ420/PRO856
Synonyms: Fibroblast Growth Factor-18, zFGF5, FGFI
Background Information: The FGFs plays an important role in regulating tissue growth, morphogenesis and tissue repair. FGF-18 is a newly discovered heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptors. The human FGF-18 is a 21.2 kDa protein containing 182 amino acid residues.
Reconstitution Instructions: Reconstitute in 5 mM Tris, pH 8.0 to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous
