Hu Recom FGF-6, ACF, 1000 µg

A 1000 µg Animal Component-Free (ACF) recombinant human FGF-6 preparation from STEMCELL Technologies supports xeno-free cell biology workflows, including the maintenance and directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells and primary myogenic precursors. Fibroblast Growth Factor 6 signals through FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR4 receptors to influence skeletal muscle regeneration, satellite cell activation, cardiac tissue development, and peripheral nerve repair studies. Researchers apply this cytokine in vitro to drive myogenic lineage commitment, investigate muscle stem cell self-renewal, modulate angiogenesis assays, and probe downstream signaling cascades including MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT.

Lyophilized and supplied in a single-use vial, the protein is intended for reconstitution in a suitable aqueous buffer such as PBS with a carrier protein (commonly 0.1% BSA) to preserve bioactivity. Each lot is verified for activity in a proliferation assay using responsive cell lines, giving confidence across downstream differentiation, expansion, and signaling experiments.

For handling, store the unreconstituted preparation refrigerated for short-term use or frozen at -20°C to -80°C for long-term retention of biological activity. After reconstitution, aliquot into single-use working volumes to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and store frozen or refrigerated depending on carrier buffer composition. The product is intended for research use only and should be handled with standard laboratory precautions for recombinant proteins.
