Storage & Stability | Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background | 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. |
