NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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 a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. The function of this growth factor has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The Human FGF-21 reacts with Species Reactivity: Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: MHPIPDSSP LLQFGGQVR QRYLYTDDA QQTEAHLEI REDGTVGGA ADQSPESLL QLKALKPGV IQILGVKTS RFLCQRPDG ALYGSLHFD PEACSFREL LLEDGYNVY QSEAHGLPL HLPGNKSPH RDPAPRGPA RFLPLPGLP PALPEPPGI LAPQPPDVG SSDPLSMVG PSQGRSPSY AS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FGF-21, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
