RecombinantFGF-12,Human

SKU: orb1494885

Description

Fibroblast Growth Factor-12(FGF-12) is a heparin binding cytokine belonging to the FGF family. FGF-12 along with FGF-11, -13, and -14, form a sublineage within the FGF family: in contrast to the other members, they are all intracellular signaling proteins lacking signal peptides and containing a flanking domain beside the family conserved β-trefoil domain. FGF-12 is expressed in the cartilaginous skeleton and heart, suggesting a role in the development of connective tissue and heart. In vivo, FGF-12 binds to Islet Brain-2 and Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels (VGSC), and plays a critical role in the membrane targeting and function of VGSC. FGF-12 has been implicated in heart diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias.Recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor-12 (rhFGF-12) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-12 has a molecular mass of 20.4 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
