Description of Human FGF-4
FGF-4 (fibroblast growth factor 4), also known as K-FGF (Kaposi’s sarcoma associated FGF), is a 25 kDa secreted, heparin binding member of the FGF family. The human FGF-4 cDNA encodes 206 amino acids (aa) with a 33 aa signal sequence and a 173 aa mature protein with an FGF homology domain that contains a heparin binding region near the C terminus. Mature human FGF-4 shares a high aa identity with mouse, rat, canine and bovine FGF-4, respectively. The expression of FGF-4 and its receptors, FGF-R1c, -R2c, -R3c and R4, is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. Its expression in the mouse trophoblast inner cell mass promotes expression of FGF-R2, and is required for maintenance of the trophectoderm and primitive endoderm. FGF-4 is proposed to play a physiologically relevant role in human embryonic stem cell self-renewal. It promotes stem cell proliferation, but may also aid differentiation depending on context and concentration, and is often included in embryonic stem cell media in-vitro. FGF-4 is mitogenic for fibroblasts and endothelial cells in-vitro and has autocrine transforming potential. It is a potent angiogenesis promoter in-vivo and has been investigated as therapy for coronary artery disease.
Biological Activity
The biological activity was determined by the induction of proliferation in NHDF cells (Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts).
Reconstitution
We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4 °C for 1 week or -20 °C for future use.
