Description

Description: Theis gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes. This protein is a secreted endocrine factor that functions as a major metabolic regulator. The encoded protein stimulates the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Storage Note

Store at -20C or below. After reconstitution, keep as concentrated solution. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, we recommend adding add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA), then aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
