Active Fibroblast Growth Factor 6 (FGF6) (APA035Hu01)

Figure. The binding activity of FGF6 with FGFR1. Fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6) 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. It may also play a importent role in muscle regeneration or differentiation. Besides, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) has been identified as an interactor of FGF6, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human FGF6 and recombinant human FGFR1. Briefly, FGF6 were diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to FGFR1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37℃. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-FGF6 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37℃. Finally, add 50μL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of FGF6 and FGFR1 was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.
