Molecular Weight
Approximately 20.0 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 179 amino acids.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 5 % trehalose.
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 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
FGF-10 was originally identified from rat embryos by homology-based polymerase chain reaction. Rat FGF-10 shares approximately 95 % amino acid sequence identity with human FGF-10. Among the FGF family members, FGF-10 is most closely related to FGF-7. The expression of FGF-10 transcripts has been shown to be most abundant in the embryo and adult lung. Recombinant FGF-10 preparations have been shown to be mitogenic for epithelial and epidermal cells but not fibroblasts. Based on its in vitro biological activities and in vivo expression pattern, FGF-10 has been proposed to play unique roles in the brain, in lung development, wound healing and limb bud formation.
