Description
Introducing the recombinant Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) fragment (residues 44-209), a highly stable and soluble protein unit designed for structural and biochemical studies. This fragment supports research into glucose metabolism regulation and insulin sensitivity mechanisms.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), encoded by the FGF21 gene in Homo sapiens, stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes by inducing SLC2A1/GLUT1 glucose transporter expression. Its activity is dependent on KLB and plays a critical role in regulating systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. As a secreted protein, FGF-21 functions extracellularly, making it a key therapeutic target for metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
