Fibroblast growth factor-9, is an approximately 26 kDa secreted glycoprotein of the FGF family. Secreted human FGF-9 is a 205-207 aa protein that lacks the N-terminal 1-3 aa and shares 98% sequence identity with mouse, rat, equine, porcine and bovine FGF-9. FGF-9 is an autocrine/paracrine growth factor considered to be important for the growth and survival of motorneurons and prostate. Meanwhile, FGF9 is a potent mitogen and survival factor required for morphogenesis during embryonic development and numerous biological functions at adulthood.

Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year.
1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
