Cat. No.	Z101685
Name	Recombinant Human FGF6 (E. coli)
Description	FGF-6 is a heparin binding protein of the FGF family which works to control cell division, differentiation, and function. These proteins are especially prominent during prenatal development and postnatal growth. It has been shown that FGF-6 functions as a mitogen for fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and prostate carcinoma cells (N-linked glycosylation is required for the full mitogenic effect). It has also been shown that FGF-6 inhibits the terminal differentiation of myoblasts, cooperates with TGF-2-beta to promote chondrogenesis in embryonic somites, and is present in leukemia cell lines which may undergo platelet megakaryocytic differentiation.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
