Induced proliferation of 3T3 cells assay for Human FGF-4 (Animal-Free). Cell proliferation was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 1 ng/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human FGF-4 has a predicted Mw of 19.4 kDa.

Description

Fibroblast Growth Factor 4 (FGF-4) is a secreted growth factor that is predominantly expressed during bone morphogenesis and embryonic limb development. FGF-4 is an important growth regulator for stem cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. FGF-4 contains a single N-linked glycosylation signal. However, in vitro studies suggest that unglycosylated FGF-4 is cleaved into 13 kDa and 15 kDa truncated proteins that have greater biological activity than the wild type 19 kDa FGF-4 protein. Human FGF-4 shares high homology and is cross-reactive with mouse FGF-4.

Activity Assay

Human FGF-4 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the dose-dependent induced proliferation of NR6R-3T3 cells and it is typically less than 5 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 2.0 x 105 units/mg.
