Hu Recom FGF-5, 50 µg

Human recombinant Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 (FGF-5) is supplied as a 50 µg vial of lyophilized protein for cell culture and basic research applications. FGF-5 belongs to the heparin-binding growth factor family and contributes to the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and migration in multiple cell lineages, including neural progenitor cells, keratinocytes, and mesenchymal populations.

The recombinant protein is expressed in E. coli and authenticated by SDS-PAGE and biological activity assays. It is commonly incorporated into defined media formulations that support the maintenance of embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and organoid culture systems. Investigators working on hair follicle biology, neurotrophic signaling, and developmental patterning routinely add FGF-5 to their experimental workflows.

STEMCELL Technologies manufactures this cytokine under rigorous quality control standards intended to support reproducible outcomes in translational research. The lyophilized vial should be stored at -20 degrees C or lower upon receipt, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided by aliquoting into working volumes. Reconstitution is typically performed in sterile PBS or culture-grade water containing 0.1% BSA as a carrier protein, and reconstituted aliquots should be stored at -80 degrees C for long-term stability. Protect from light to preserve biological activity. Intended for research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
