- Source : Escherichia Coli. Fibroblast Growth Factor -21 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single; non-glycosylated; polypeptide chain containing 202 amino acids (29-209) and having a molecular mass of 21.6 kDa (molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher). The FGF-21 is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. The FGFs are a family of more than 20 small (~17-26 kDa) secreted peptides. The initial characterization of these proteins focused on their ability to stimulate fibroblast proliferation. This mitogenic activity was mediated through FGF receptors (FGFRs) 1; 2; or 3. A fourth closely related tyrosine kinase receptor (FGFR4) was able to bind the FGFs but did not lead to a mitogenic response.FGFs modulate cellular activity via at least 5 distinct subfamilies of high-affinity FGF receptors (FGFRs): FGFR-1; -2; -3; and -4; all with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and; except for FGFR-4; multiple splice isoforms; and FGFR-5; which lacks an intracellular kinase domain. There is growing evidence that FGFRs can be important for regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis. The overexpression of a dominant negative form of FGFR-1 in cells leads to diabetes in mice; which thus implies that proper FGF signaling is required for normal cell function and glycemia maintenance. FGFR-2 appears to be a key molecule during pancreatic development. Moreover; FGFR-4 has been implicated in cholesterol metabolism and bile acid synthesis.FGF-19; has been shown to cause resistance to diet-induced obesity and insulin desensitization and to improve insulin; glucose; and lipid profiles in diabetic rodents. Since these effects; at least in part; are mediated through the observed changes in metabolic rates; FGF-19 can be considered as a regulator of energy expenditure.FGF-21 is preferentially expressed in liver; but an exact knowledge of FGF-21 bioactivity and its mode of action have been lacking to date. FGF-21 is a potent activator of glucose uptake on adipocytes; protects animals from diet-induced obesity when overexpressed in transgenic mice; and lowers blood glucose and triglyceride levels when therapeutically administered to diabetic rodents.
