Biochem/physiol Actions
FGF-8b belongs to the FGF protein family. FGF-8b is important in embryogenesis, in pathways that lead to left-right determination and coordinate the vertebral segmentation process, and in processes that activate Homeobox genes. There are several isoforms of FGF-8 produced by alternative splicing.
Preparation Note
HumanKine Fibroblast Growth Factor-8b, expressed in human HEK 293 cells is a glycosylated monomer with an apparent molecular mass of 30-45 kDa due to glycosylation. Production in human HEK 293 cells offers authentic glycosylation, which is absent when this cytokine is expressed in E. coli. Glycosylation contributes to stability in cell growth media and other applications.
Analysis Note
The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of the BALB/3T3 cell line.
