Product Details
- Molecular Aliases
- UNQ3115; PRO10196; FGF-21; FGF21; Fibroblast growth factor-21; Fibroblast growth factor 21
- Protein Length
- Arg29-Ser209
- Expression System
- HEK293
- Theoretical Molecular Weight
- The protein has a predicted MW of 20.80 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 21-30 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.
- Purity
- > 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE > 90% as determined by HPLC
- Endotoxin
- Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method.
- Buffer / Formulation
- Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
- State
- Lyophilized
- Storage Conditions
- -20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3 months after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Reconstitution Advice
- Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for detailed instructions.

The purity of Hamster FGF21 is greater than 90% as determined by SEC-HPLC.
Hamster FGF21, His Tag immobilized on CM5 Chip can bind Human Beta Klotho, His Tag with an affinity constant of 264.50 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).
Background
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a peptide hormone that is synthesized by several organs and regulates energy homeostasis. Excitement surrounding this relatively recently identified hormone is based on the documented metabolic beneficial effects of FGF21, which include weight loss and improved glycemia.
