Recombinant Human FGF-17 Protein Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. Rizzino, A. et al. (1988) Cancer Res. 48:4266; Thomas, K. et al. (1987) Methods Enzymol. 147:120.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: FGF-17

FGF‑17 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGFs play multiple roles in biological functions, including angiogenesis, mitogenesis, cell differentiation and wound repair. FGFs share 30‑70% amino acid (aa) identity in a conserved, approximately 120 amino acid core domain (1‑3). The human or mouse FGF‑17 cDNA encodes a cleavable 22 aa signal sequence and a 194 secreted mature protein (1). Mature human FGF‑17 shares 99% aa identity with mouse, rat, porcine and canine FGF‑17. The FGF domain of FGF‑17 shares the most aa identity with FGF‑8 (~75%) and FGF‑18 (~64%). These three FGFs constitute a subfamily that overlaps in some areas of expression and function (1‑5). All are reported to bind and signal through FGF R4 the “c” splice forms of FGF R1‑3 (6, 7). During embryogenesis, FGF‑17 plays an organizing and inducing role in the patterning at the midbrain/hindbrain junction, and is also expressed in hindgut, parts of the developing skeleton, tail bud, major arteries, and heart (2‑5). In many of these areas, it is expressed along with FGF‑8, but slightly later (2‑6). Unlike FGF‑8 and FGF‑18, deletion of FGF‑17 produces viable mice. However, FGF‑17-/- mice show abnormalities in the dorsal frontal cortex, midbrain and cerebellum, manifested in some cases by ataxia, auditory defects, and abnormal social behavior (1, 4, 5, 8, 9). In humans, down‑regulation of FGF‑17 expression has been associated with Dandy‑Walker cerebellar malformation (10). FGF‑17 is also expressed in adult bovine ovarian follicles and the human prostate, and its expression is increased by both benign hypertrophy and cancer of the prostate (11‑13). FGF‑8, FGF‑17, and FGF‑18 are also abnormally expressed in many human leukemic cell lines and can enhance growth of cancer cells (14).
