Anti-FGF-20 Antibody

FGF-20 is a recent but important neurotrophic factor that regulates multiple central nervous system developmental systems and cell functions. It is a secreted protein expressed most highly in the cerebellum but also found in other regions. FGF-20 is a pro-survival factor on neurons and specifically has been shown to protect dopaminergic neurons against a range of toxic insults in vitro, through activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). FGF-20 treatments also appear to protect neurons in various disease models so it is being studied as a possible therapy.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human FGF-20 near theC-terminal.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected FGF-20 in human cerebral cortex, human cerebellum, and human thalamus tissue.
