All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure and they are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1\/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4\/GLUT4 expression) and the activity depends on the presence of KLB. FGF-21 contains a 28 a.a. signal sequence and a 181 a.a. mature region but show limited binding to heparin. In addition, Mature human FGF-21 respectively shows 81 % a.a. identity to Mouse and rat FGF-21, and is known to be active on Mouse cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eResearch_area\u003c\/b\u003e:Immunology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurity\u003c\/b\u003e:\u0026gt; 96 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSource\u003c\/b\u003e:Escherichia coli.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull product name\u003c\/b\u003e:Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-21\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBiological activity\u003c\/b\u003e:Fully biologically active when compared to standard.
