Extra Details:
Source: E.coli. MW :16.9kD. Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 4 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ser54-Leu206 is expressed. Fibroblast growth factor 4(FGF-4) is a heparin binding member of the FGF family. The human FGF4 cDNA encodes 206 amino acids (aa) with a 33 aa signal sequence and a 173 aa mature protein with an FGF homology domain that contains a heparin binding region near the C-terminus. Mature human FGF4 shares 91%; 82%; 94% and 91% aa identity with mouse; rat; canine and bovine FGF4; respectively. Human FGF-4 has been shown to exhibit cross species activity. Expression of FGF-4 and its receptors; FGF R1c; 2c; 3c and 4; is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. FGF-4 is proposed to play a physiologically relevant role in human embryonic stem cell selfrenewal. It promotes stem cell proliferation; but may also aid differentiation depending on context and concentration; and is often included in embryonic stem cell media in vitro. FGF-4 is mitogenic for fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vitro and has autocrine transforming potential. It is a potent angiogenesis promoter in vivo and has been investigated as therapy for coronary artery disease.
