Recombinant Human FGF8 | Z101705

abm | Recombinant Human FGF8 | Z101705

FGF-8 is a heparin binding protein of the FGF family which works to control cell division, differentiation, and function. These proteins are especially prominent during prenatal development and postnatal growth. FGF-8 can be spliced in four different ways. The products of the FGF-8 splicing events are as follows: FGF8A, 8B, 8E and 8F. This recombinant product represents isoform 8B.

Functions:

The bioactivity was determined in a NIH/3T3 cell proliferation assay. The ED50 was in the range of 0.05 - 0.5 ng/ml.
