Fibroblast Growth Factor 9 (FGF9, Glia-activating Factor, GAF, HBFG-9)

Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 (FGF-9, Glial Activating Factor) is a heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of glial cells and other cells that express FGF receptors. Murine FGF-9 is a 23.3kD protein containing 205 aa residues.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Dot Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nDot Blot: 5ug/ml\nWestern Blot: detects a band at ~25kD\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
