Biological Activity: Determined by the dose dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors. The expected ED50 is ≤ 0.5 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2 x 10^6 units/mg.
Reconstitution Instructions: FGF-16 is a heparin binding growth factor that is a member of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-16 signals through FGFR 2c and 3c. FGF-16 plays a role in the development of the central nervous system. Recombinant human FGF-16 is a 23.6 kDa protein consisting of 206 amino acid residues.
Storage Temp.: -20°C
Shipping: Gel pack
