| Description | FGF13 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 245 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 27.6kDa.The FGF-13 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | FGF13 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, 0.5M NaCl, pH 7.4. |
| Protein Background | Fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF-13) is a member of the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. Most of its members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (aa) FGF domain which allows for a mutual tertiary structure. Human and mouse FGF13 are 245 aa proteins which arise from genes that show N-terminal alternative splicing. Transcripts for 245 aa, 199 aa, 226 aa, 192 aa and 255 aa have been identified in human and mouse, with almost complete cross-species aa identity among all splice forms (greater than 98%). FGF13 is identified in the fetal ependyma, dorsal root and cranial ganglia, both atrial and ventricular myocardium, and in renal collecting duct-associated mesenchyme. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-13 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized FGF13 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-13 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Fibroblast growth factor 13, FGF-13, Fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 2, FHF-2, FGF13, FHF2. |
