Your partner for human FGF-21 related research projects.



Many research of FGF-21 performed based on general FGF-21 test, which measures both intact FGF-21 and FGF-21 fragments. However, it is essential to study intact FGF-21, as well as FGF-21 fragments seperately, because 
  • Human Intact FGF-21 (1-181) binds to β-Klotho and FGFR, initiating an intracellular signaling pathway that leads to various biological activities.
  • N-truncated and C-truncated FGF-21, while not biologically active themselves, may possess antagonistic functions by acting as receptor or protein binding agents. These truncated forms have the potential to interfere with normal FGF-21 signaling or disrupt interactions with other proteins.
