Host
E Coli
Purity/Purification
>96%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Form/Format
Recombinant FGF21 was lyophilized from 0.2 um filtered PBS solution, pH 7.0.
Sequence
LEIREDGTVG GAADQSPESL LQLKALKPGV IQILGVKTSR FLCQRPDGAL YGSLHFDPEA CSFRELLLED GYNVYQSEAH GLPLHLPGNK SPHRDPAPRG PARFLPLPGL PPALPEPPGI LAPQPPDVGS SDPLSMVGPS QGRSPSYAS
Sequence Length
209
Domain
HBGF/IL1
Host Note
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method.
Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug).
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Molecular Weight Note
Native human FGF21 is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide
and propeptide, this molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 20kDa.

Recombinant Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 182 amino acid residue subunits, and migrates as an approximately 20kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Preparation and Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C.
Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.

Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

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]

Uniprot Description

FGF21: Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity requires the presence of KLB. Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.

Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.33

Cellular Component: extracellular region

Molecular Function: protein binding; growth factor activity; fibroblast growth factor receptor binding

Biological Process: positive regulation of glucose import; cell-cell signaling; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor biosynthetic process; signal transduction

Product Notes

The FGF-21 fgf21 (Catalog #AAA553064) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: LEIREDGTVG GAADQSPESL LQLKALKPGV IQILGVKTSR FLCQRPDGAL YGSLHFDPEA CSFRELLLED GYNVYQSEAH GLPLHLPGNK SPHRDPAPRG PARFLPLPGL PPALPEPPGI LAPQPPDVGS SDPLSMVGPS QGRSPSYAS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Fibroblast Growth Factor 21, Recombinant 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.
