Protein Background

Fibroblast growth factor 16 (FGF16) is a member of the large FGF family, whose members are heparin-binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain which allows for a common tertiary structure. Human FGF16 cDNA is a 207 aa precursor pro

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Fibroblast Growth Factor 16, Metacarpal 4-5 Fusion, FGF-16, MF4, FGF16.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered colorless clear solution.

Stability

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles.
