Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-22

Source: Genetically modified E.coli.
Predicted MW: Monomer, 17.3 kDa (149 aa)
Fibroblast growth factor 22 (FGF-22) is a mediator of synaptogenesis in the adult nervous system and functions to regulate synapse formation and maturation. FGF-22 is expressed in the inner hair cell and functions to maintain ribbon synapse number to protect functional hearing. In the hippocampus, FGF-22 promotes excitatory synapse formation through binding the FGFR2b and FGFR1b receptors. FGF-22 is also required for axonal circuit remodeling after spinal cord injury.

Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 IEU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Centrifuge vial before opening, Suspend the product by gently pipetting the above recommended solution down the sides of the vial. DO NOT VORTEX. Allow several minutes for complete reconstitution. For prolonged storage, dilute to working aliquots in a 0.1% BSA solution, store at -80°C and avoid repeat freeze thaws. Upon reconstitution, a small amount of visible precipitate can be expected. A 10% overfill has been added to the total material vialed to compensate for this loss.
