Specificity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine NIH/3T3 cells is less than 600 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >, 1.7 x 103 IU/mg in the presence of 5μ, g/ml of rMuKlotho-β, . |
Description |
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) belongs to the large FGF family which has at least 23 members. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (aa) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGFs are expressed during embryonic development and in restricted adult tissues. Four distinct but related classes of FGF receptors, FGF R1, 2, 3, and 4, exist. FGF-21, in the presence of betaKlotho as a protein cofactor, signals through the FGFR 1c and 4 receptors and stimulates insulin independent glucose uptake by adipocytes. |
Endotoxin Level |
Less than 0.2EU/ug of rHuFGF-21 as determined by LAL method. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2µ, m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
M.W. |
Approximately 19.5 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 182 amino acids. |

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. |
Storage |
This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8 C, but should be kept at -20 C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 C to -70 C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
