Description

Recombinant human FGF-10, (Fibroblast Growth Factor 10), is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 169 amino acids and migrates as an approximately 19 kDa protein under reducing and non-reducing conditions. Source: Optimized DNA sequence encoding human FGF-10 mature chain was expressed in E. coli.

Background
FGF-10 is involved in the initial budding as well as the continuous outgrowth of vertebrate limbs, FGF-10 mRNA is expressed preferentially in neurons but not in glial cells and may have a distinct role in the brain. Human FGF-10 is mitogenic for fetal rat keratinizing epidermal cells but not for NIH 3T3 cells. Recombinant FGF-10 induces the proliferation of human urothelial cells in vitro and induces the proliferation of transitional epithelium. FGF-10 is secreted by cultured mouse pre- adipocytes, prevention of FGF-10 signaling inhibits subsequent differentiation. The ability of embryonic fibroblasts derived from FGF-10 knock-out mice to differentiate into adipocytes is also impaired.
