Background of FGF-21

Fibroblast growth factor 21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF21 gene. By genomic sequence analysis, Nishimura et al. (2000) identified the FGF21 gene within the 5-prime flanking region of the FUT1 gene on chromosome 19. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF21 stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes but not in other cell types. This effect is additive to the activity of insulin. FGF21 treatment of adipocytes is associated with phosphorylation of FRS2, a protein linking FGF receptors to the Ras/MAP kinase pathway. FGF21 injection in ob/ob mice results in an increase in Glut1 in adipose tissue. FGF21 also protects animals from diet-induced obesity when overexpressed in transgenic mice and lowers blood glucose and triglyceride levels when administered to diabetic rodents.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency

We measured random samples of Mouse FGF21 ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Question

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement FGF-21 using the EK1379 Mouse FGF-21 Picokine® ELISA Kit?

D. Varma

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-10-26

Answer

A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to prevent protein degradation.

Question

We have a customer who wants to purchase your Human PROS1 PicoKine ELISA Kit EK1739-96WELLS because they are interested in the human PROS1. However, at a later time point maybe also PROS1 in mice. Do you have any data if the kit might work with mice? Normally you say if the sequence if the sequences are 90%+ identical, there is a high chance of cross-reactivity

Question

I only have 20 µL of plasma sample. Can I dilute the sample to 100 µL for this assay?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2014-08-14

Answer

Yes if the sample is mouse plasma. Note that we do not recommend this dilution for human plasma because its FGF21 level is lower than that in mouse plasma.
