Discription：Fibroblast growth factor-9 （FGF-9） is a member of the fibroblast growth factor （FGF） family. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acids FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGF-9 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. This protein was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. FGF-9 is a monomer and interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. The human FGF-9 shares 98％ a.a. sequence identity with mouse, rat, equine, porcine, and bovine FGF-9. Recombinant Human FGF-9 is a 23.3kDa protein consisting of 207 amino acid residues.
