The Recombinant Human FGF-8b Protein manufactured by Seafrom is suitable for cell growth, development, and tissue repair. FGF-8 (FGF-8b) is a heparin-binding growth factor belonging to the FGF family. Proteins in this family play a central role in prenatal development, postnatal growth, and tissue regeneration by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation. FGF8 has four known alternative splicing forms: FGF8A, FGF-8B, FGF-8E, and FGF-8F. Human and mouse FGF-8A and B are identical, while human and mouse FGF-8E and FGF-8F share 98% similarity. FGF-8 primarily targets breast cancer cells and other cells expressing FGF receptors. The lyophilized formulation can be stored at 4°C for 24 months. Once reconstituted, the liquid can be stored at -20°C for 6-12 months, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
