FGF-5 is a secreted, heparin-binding growth factor that belongs to the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-5 binds to FGFR 1c and 2c, and plays a regulatory role in the hair growth cycle. Recombinant Human FGF-5 is a 27.6 kDa protein consisting of 252 amino acid residues.

Purity:
≥ 95% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity:
Determined by dose-dependent ability to reduce tetrazolium salt, WST-8, by dehydrogenase activities of BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The expected ED50 is ≤ 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2 x 106 units/mg.
