Anti-FGF-6 Antibody

Targeting fibroblast growth factor 6, this polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com detects a signaling protein implicated in skeletal muscle regeneration, myoblast proliferation, and several oncogenic pathways. Raised in rabbit, the unconjugated antibody recognizes the human, mouse, and rat FGF-6 orthologs, making it suitable for cross-species studies in muscle biology, cancer research, and developmental signaling.

Validated for Western blot and ELISA workflows, the antibody is supplied as a 100 µl liquid aliquot, sufficient for multiple immunoblot membranes or antigen capture plates. Researchers investigating rhabdomyosarcoma, prostate cancer cell lines, or satellite cell activation will find FGF-6 expression analysis directly relevant, since the growth factor signals primarily through FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR4 to engage MAPK and PI3K downstream cascades.

The polyclonal format recognizes multiple epitopes across the FGF-6 protein, an advantage when probing denatured targets on immunoblots or capturing antigen in ELISA plate wells. The unconjugated format allows end users to couple the antibody to their preferred reporter system, whether HRP, biotin, or a fluorescent dye, depending on the chosen detection platform.

Store the vial refrigerated; aliquoting upon first use is recommended for projects that span multiple weeks, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to preserve binding activity.
