概述
Human FGF-19 is encoded by the FGF19 gene. FGF-19 belongs to the FGF-19 subfamily which has three members FGF-19, 21, 23. FGFs are classically considered to be paracrine factors and are known for their roles in tissue patterning and organogenesis during embryogenesis. By contrast, the FGF-19 subfamily has recently been shown to function in an endocrine manner. Members of this subfamily have poor ability of binding to heparin binding site which is a crucial factor in ligand-receptor complex formation. β-Klotho has been identified as co-factor required for FGF-19, 21, 23 signaling. It can obviously increase ligand-receptor affinity. Unlike most FGFs which bind to and activate more than one FGF receptor, FGF19 is a specific ligand for FGF R4. In FGF-19 transgenic mice, reducing liver triglycerides, increasing fatty acid oxidation, reducing glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity can be observed.

属性
| Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
|
| Purity |
> 95 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
|
| Source |
Escherichia coli.
|
| Biological Activity |
Assay #1: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity is measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rHuFGF R4 at 5 μg/ml can bind rHuFGF-19 with a linear range of 3-200 ng/ml.
Assay #2: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine Balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 150 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 6.7 × 103 IU/mg.
|
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
|
| Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/μg of rHuFGF-19 as determined by LAL method.
|
| Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
