Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) comprise a family of at least eighteen structurally realted proteins that are involved in a multitude of physiological and pathological cellular processes, including cell growth, differentation, angiogenesis, wound healing and tumorgenesis. The biological activities of the FGFs are mediated by a family if type I transmembrane tyrosine kinases which undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation after ligand binding. Four distinct genes encoding closely related FGF receptors, FGFR-1to -4 are known. Multiple forms of FGFR-1 to -3 are generated by alternative splicing of the mRNAs. A frequent splicing event involving FGFR-1 and -2 results in receptors containing all three Ig domains, referred to as the alpha isoform, or only IgII and IgIII, referred to as the ? isoform. Only the alpha isoform has been identified for FGFR-3 and FGFR-4. Additional splicing events for FGFR-1 to -3, involving the C-terminal half of the IgIII domain encoded by two mutually exclusive alternative exons, generate FGF receptors with alternative IgIII domains (IIIb and IIIc). A IIIa isoform which is a secreted FGF binding protein containing only the N-terminal half of the IgIII domain plus some intron sequences has also been reported for FGFR-1. Mutations in FGFR-1 to -3 have been found in patients with birth defects involving craniosynostosis.

Soluble FGFR3 Human recombinant fused using a Xa cleavage site with the Fc part of human IgG1 produced in Fc Chimera is a heterodimeric, glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 593aa and having a molecular mass of 170kDa. 

Insect Cells.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

FGFR3 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) sterile solution containing PBS.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGFR-3 in sterile PBS not less than 50µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
