Gene Information

human ... FGF4(2249)

General description

The FGF4 (fibroblast growth factor 4) gene is mapped to human chromosome 11q13.3. It is expressed during early embryonic development. In adults, it is strongly expressed in the testis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FGF4 (fibroblast growth factor 4) helps in preserving the self-renewal capability of normal stem cells. The encoded protein has the ability to interact with FGFR1c (FGF receptor 1c) and FGFR2c. It also binds to FGFR3c and FGFR4, but to a lesser extent. FGFR4 is also required for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis and proliferation. It modulates proliferation and differentiation of normal stem cells, progenitor cells and cancer cells.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a PBS solution.

Preparation Note

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile PBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free, recombinant human serum albumin.
