Along with FGF-19\/15 and FGF-23, FGF-21 is categorized as a member of the atypical FGF subfamily, as it must be complexed to the Klotho co-receptor in order to bind to the FGF receptors and activate the downstream signaling pathway. In vivo FGF-21 is expressed in liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle, and it plays a central role in the energy metabolism. The expression of FGF-21 is stimulated by free fatty acids and insulin resistant states and is correlated with whole-body insulin resistance. FGF-21 activates glucose uptake in adipocytes and increases insulin sensitivity, implicating it as a novel target with potential anti-diabetic properties.Recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 (rhFGF-21) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 182 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-21 has a molecular mass of 19.5 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"10μg","offer_id":42882235564211,"sku":"-10","price":217.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50μg","offer_id":42882235596979,"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_cb6b3d1a-7e9d-49ed-8370-5335edd9f72b.jpg?v=1702049795","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/recombinant-fgf-21-human","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
