Background: FGF21 (Fibroblast growth factor 21) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF21 gene, which is also a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. The FGF21 gene is mapped on 19q13.33. Using RT-PCR, Fgf21 was expressed in several types of adipose tissue in mice, including subcutaneous and epididymal fat pads and brown adipose tissue. The level of Fgf21 expression in adipose tissue was comparable to that in liver. FGF21 stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes but not in other cell types. This effect is additive to the activity of insulin. FGF21 treatment of adipocytes is associated with phosphorylation of FRS2, a protein linking FGF receptors to the Ras/MAP kinase pathway. FGF21 also protects animals from diet-induced obesity when overexpressed in transgenic mice and lowers blood glucose and triglyceride levels when administered to diabetic rodents. Changes in Fgf21 expression due to suckling or nutritional manipulations were associated with changes in circulating free fatty acid and ketone body levels. In differentiated mouse brown adipocytes in culture, Fgf21 treatment increased the expression of thermogenic genes, caused higher total and uncoupled respiration, and enhanced glucose oxidation.

NCBI Description
Theis gene encodes 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. This protein is a secreted endocrine factor that functions as a major metabolic regulator. The encoded protein stimulates the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
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.

Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FGF21 fgf21 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FGF21, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
