Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 Mouse Recombinant
Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 205 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23308 Dalton.
The FGF-9 Mouse Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Accession
Amino acid sequence
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Pro-Leu-Gly-Glu-Val.
Biological Activity
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of BAF3 cells expressing FGF receptors (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is <0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2MU/mg.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized from 10mM Tris, pH 8.0, 0.15M Amonium Sulfate.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor 9 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability
Lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution FGF9 Mouse Recombinant should be stored at
4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Synonyms
GAF (Glia-activating factor), HBGF-9, MGC119914, MGC119915, FGF-9.
