Product Specifications

Immunogen

E. coli-derived recombinant human FGF-6
Gly41-Ile208
Accession # P10767.4

Specificity

Detects human FGF‑6 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, less than 17% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) FGF-4 is observed and less then 1% cross-reactivity with rhFGF acidic, rhFGF basic, and rhFGF-5 is observed.  Neutralizes the biological activity of rhFGF-6, but will not neutralize the biological activity of rhFGF acidic, rhFGF basic, rhFGF-4, or rhFGF-5.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Goat

Isotype

IgG

Endotoxin Level

<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the antibody by the LAL method.

Scientific Data Images for Human FGF-6 Antibody

Cell Proliferation Induced by FGF-6 and Neutralization by Human FGF-6 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by FGF-6 and Neutralization by Human FGF-6 Antibody.

Recombinant Human FGF-6 (Catalog # 238-F6) stimulates proliferation in the NR6R-3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human FGF-6 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human FGF-6 Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AB-238-NA). The ND50 is typically 15-25 µg/mL.

Background: FGF-6

Fibroblast Growth Factor-6 (FGF-6), also known as HST-2, is a 25-28 kDa member of the FGF family of heparin binding polypeptides which are potent regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and function. FGF proteins contain a 120 amino acid (aa) core FGF domain that exhibits a beta-trefoil structure (1, 2). Mature human FGF-6 is a 171 aa protein that shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat FGF-6 (3). It binds and signals primarily through FGF R1c, 2c, and 4 (4). FGF-6 functions as a mitogen for fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and prostate carcinoma cells, and N-linked glycosylation is required for the full mitogenic effect (5‑7). FGF-6 expression is restricted to skeletal muscle during development although it can be upregulated in prostate cancer and Kaposi sarcoma (7-9). In the adult, FGF-6 is upregulated in injured skeletal muscle and is required for muscle regeneration (10). FGF-6 inhibits the terminal differentiation of myoblasts and also cooperates with TGF-beta 2 to promote chondrogenesis in embryonic somites (8, 11).
