Product Overview

Tag	N/A
Host Species	Human
Accession	O60258
Background	Human FGF17 is a member of the broadly mitogenic FGF family, members of which have key roles in prenatal development, postnatal growth and tissue regeneration. FGF17 has been implicated in the organization and induction of the midbrain/hindbrain junction. It is also found in the developing skeleton, major arteries, heart, tail bud and hindgut, where it is often expressed just following FGF8 expression. While deletion of FGF17 does allow for viable mice, these mice demonstrate abnormalities in areas of the brain and demonstrate abnormal social behaviour. In humans abnormal patterns of FGF17 expression are associated with Dandy-Walker cerebellar malformation as well as a number of types of cancer. Human FGF17 shares 99% sequence similarity with the mouse and rat forms. Recombinant Human FGF17 is a 22.8 kDa heparin binding growth factor.

Gene Functions References

FGF17 and IL17RD prpopsed as the two top candidates in the entire proteome on the basis of a statistical test of their protein-protein interaction patterns to proteins known to be altered in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. PMID: 23643382
FGF17 expression is increased 2-fold in benign prostatic hyperplasia and may contribute to the increased epithelial proliferation seen in this disease. PMID: 15129425

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
