FGF-8 has 8 different isoforms, named FGF-8a through FGF-8h. Different FGF-8 isoforms have different affinities to the receptors, and thus participate in different signaling cascade pathways. FGF-8 has very widespread expression during embryonic development, and is an organizer and inducer for gastrulation, somitogenesis, morphogenesis, and limb induction. However, FGF-8 is also a potential oncogene: in normal adult cells, FGF-8 has very low expression, but FGF-8 is highly expressed in cancer cells of breast, prostate, and ovarian tumors. FGF-8 promotes tumor angiogenesis by increasing neovascularization, and induces osteoblastic differentiation. Recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor 8a (rhFGF-8a) produced inE.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 183 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-8a has a molecular mass of 21.3 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":42882235990195,"sku":"BK0045-10","price":217.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50μg","offer_id":42882236022963,"sku":"BK0045-50","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_a45dee59-fa94-4f61-b152-a2b95d08a5c6.jpg?v=1702049803","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/recombinant-fgf-8a-human-bk0045","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
