Product Specific Information

• Reconstitution:
  Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening to collect contents at the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile, distilled water to a concentration of 0.1–1 mg/mL. Do not vortex. Store the solution at 2–8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, dilute further in buffer containing a carrier protein (e.g., 0.1% BSA) and store aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

• Storage:
  The lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for 1 month but should be kept at -20°C for long-term storage, preferably desiccated. Working aliquots stored with a carrier protein are stable for at least 3 months at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Target Information

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in various biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion.
FGF-9 was isolated as a secreted factor that stimulates growth of cultured glial cells. In the nervous system, it is mainly produced by neurons and may play a role in glial cell development. Expression of the mouse homolog depends on Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling; mice lacking the homolog exhibit male-to-female sex reversal, indicating involvement in testicular embryogenesis.
