FGF15 Antibody – Sheep Polyclonal

FGF-15 is a 25kD, secreted, nonglycosylated polypeptide that is a member of the FGF-15/21/23 subfamily, FGF family of growth factors. It is synthesized by ileal epithelium, colonic myofibroblasts, and select areas of the developing brain. FGF-15 acts on hepatocytes and reduces CYP7A1 levels, thus blocking bile acid production. It also promotes colonic epithelial migration, and in the embryonic brain, inhibits over-production of neuronal precursors. FGF-15 is synthesized as a 218aa precursor that contains a 25aa signal sequence and a 182aa mature region aa26-218; 23kD predicted MW). Mature FGF-15 contains a characteristic 3-dimensional B-trefoil structure, plus a unique Cys pattern that contributes to stability. There are two potential splice forms. One shows a 23aa substitution for aa120-218, while a second shows a 41aa substitution for aa120-218. Over aa23-200, mouse FGF-15 shares 96% aa identity with rat FGF-15. Although mouse FGF-15 is considered the ortholog to human FGF-19, the two molecules share only 54% aa identity over aa23-200, and are produced by different cell types (intestinal epithelium in mouse, hepatocytes in human).

Small volumes of anti-Fgf15 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
