Anti-FGF-16 Antibody

FGF-16 (fibroblast growth factor 16) functions as a paracrine signaling molecule most strongly expressed during cardiac morphogenesis and, at lower levels, in the adult heart. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against the FGF-16 protein and supplied as 100 µl of polyclonal sera, validated for Western blot detection and ELISA reactivity in human, mouse, and rat samples. Cardiac, brown adipose tissue, and neural researchers use the reagent to probe cardiomyocyte proliferation, FGFR4-dependent signaling cascades, brown fat metabolism, and neuroprotection pathways. For long term storage keep the vial frozen at -20°C in single-use aliquots and minimize freeze-thaw cycles to retain polyclonal titer. Each batch is affinity-purified and QC-tested on recombinant FGF-16, supporting clean readouts in cardiac lysates, brown fat homogenates, and conditioned media from FGF16-overexpressing cell lines.
