Related Product Information for FGF8 active protein
FGF-8 (FGF8-b) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, which have wide mitogenic and cell survival activities. Additionally, they participate in a number of biological processes during prenatal development, postnatal growth and tissue generation. FGF family members have been implicated in tumour growth, FGF8 specifically in anchorage independent growth of mammary tumour cells. Adult expression of FGF8 is restricted to the testes and ovaries. As an embryonic epithelial growth factor, FGF8 sets up and maintains the midbrain/hindbrain border, and has further roles in limb development, organogenesis and left-axis determination. Recombinant Murine FGF-8b is a 22.5 kDa heparin binding growth factor consisting of 197 amino acids and shares 100% amino acid identity with human FGF-8b.

Product Notes
The FGF8 (Catalog #AAA214334) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FGF8, 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
