Human FGF-9 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0582)

The Human FGF-9 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of fibroblast growth factor 9 in experimental samples, supporting research into developmental biology, oncology, and regenerative medicine. FGF-9 (also known as glia-activating factor) is a heparin-binding growth factor that signals primarily through FGFR2 and FGFR3 receptors and plays essential roles in lung branching morphogenesis, skeletal development, and epithelial-mesenchymal signaling during organogenesis.

Researchers investigating prostate, ovarian, and lung cancers frequently profile FGF-9 because elevated expression promotes tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and stromal fibroblast activation. The kit is also widely used in studies of cartilage homeostasis, bone repair, and neural stem cell maintenance, where FGF-9 acts as a mitogen for mesenchymal progenitors and chondrocyte precursors. The assay is validated specifically for the detection of human FGF-9, with paired antibodies raised against the human sequence to ensure species-specific reactivity in conditioned media and cell lysate samples.

For laboratory workflow, the microplate-based colorimetric assay provides reproducible standard curves across serial dilutions, with reagents supplied ready-to-use or in concentrated form. Unopened kits should be stored refrigerated with all components protected from light; reconstituted standards and detection antibody vials remain stable through multiple freeze-thaw cycles when aliquoted properly.
