Product Description
Recombinant Rat Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 (rRatFGF-21) is a protein that belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. With a molecular weight of approximately X kDa, rRatFGF-21 plays a significant role in regulating metabolic homeostasis. This protein exhibits potent effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic interventions targeting metabolic disorders. Its precise mechanism of action involves activating specific signaling pathways, such as the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) pathways. Understanding the functions and properties of rRatFGF-21 contributes to advancements in metabolic research and potential therapeutic applications.
