Form

Lyophilized powder

Buffer

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS, 500mM NaCl, pH7.4.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Protein FAQs

Storage Condition

Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Shelf Life

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.

Lead Time

Basically, we can dispatch the products out in 5-10 working days after receiving your orders. Delivery time may differ from different purchasing way or location, please kindly consult your local distributors for specific delivery time.

Notes

Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Description

FGF4 drives mitogenic signaling through FGFR complexes and plays critical roles in embryonic development, angiogenesis, and tumor progression. This tag-free recombinant human FGF4 (residues 54–206) covers the mature secreted form and demonstrates potent bioactivity with an ED50 of 2–20 ng/ml in MCF7 cell proliferation assays, confirming receptor-binding competence suitable for cell survival studies, angiogenesis models, and stem cell differentiation experiments. Produced in *E. coli*, the protein lacks glycosylation, making it appropriate for receptor-ligand binding and competition assays—such as SPR or ELISA—where consistent, homogeneous preparations are essential for quantitative reproducibility. Purity exceeding 95% by SDS-PAGE combined with endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg satisfies the criteria typical for sensitive cell-based assays and supports use in tumor biology models or as a reliable standard in antibody characterization workflows.

Target Background

Function

Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation. Required for normal limb and cardiac valve development during embryogenesis.

Gene References into Functions

our study demonstrated that FGFR4 rs2011077 and rs1966265 are associated with the progression of cervical normal tissues to precancerous lesions in Taiwanese women. Moreover, rs351855 (Gly388Arg) is the only FGFR4 genetic polymorphism that is associated with patient survival. PMID: 28378614
Thus, we conclude that the oncoprotein HBXIP up-regulates FGF4 through activating transcriptional factor Sp1 to promote the migration of breast cancer cells. Therapeutically, HBXIP may serve as a novel target in breast cancer. PMID: 26828265
Fibroblasts induce expression of FGF4 in ovarian cancer stem-like cells/cancer-initiating cells and upregulate their tumor initiation capacity. PMID: 25329002
Data show that the interaction between Artd1 and Sox2 is crucial for the first steps of the reprogramming process and that early expression of Fgf4 is an essential component for the successful generation of iPSCs. PMID: 23939864
Myoblasts which overexpress FGF-4 exhibit significant changes in cell cycle and pro-angiogenic potential with only slight differences in the expression of the myogenic genes. PMID: 21673370
