Structurally, FGF-18 is closely related to FGF-8 and FGF-17. Like other FGFs, FGF-18 can bind to different FGF receptors in vivo. FGF-18 is expressed in various tissues and has multiple functions: during long bone growth, FGF-18 is expressed in perichondrium and developing joints, and regulates bone formation by inhibiting chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation; FGF-18 knock-out mice survive embryonic development, but exhibit skeletal abnormalities and die in the early neonatal period. FGF-18 also induces ectopic cartilage formation in the lung, and alters the morphology of the pulmonary mesenchyma. Recombinant rat Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (rrFGF-18) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing of 172 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rrFGF-18 has a molecular mass of 20.1 kDa analyzed by non-reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"10μg","offer_id":42882235465907,"sku":"-10","price":217.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50μg","offer_id":42882235498675,"sku":"-50","price":691.77,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9482\/6376\/products\/thumbnail_d1447bac803ec9be_11-14-09-19-51_1b9bc076-18f6-4dfb-a897-64a0b460df6c.jpg?v=1702049793","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/recombinant-fgf-18-rat","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
