Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets fibroblast growth factor 8 (gene FGF8) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 26.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 26 kDa.
Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) is a secreted signaling molecule that is central to embryonic patterning. It helps organize development of the brain, eye, ear and limbs and is needed for normal development of GnRH neurons. FGF8 is studied in developmental biology and in congenital disorders such as Kallmann syndrome.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat ovary tissue, human HeLa cells, human placenta tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human FGF8 fragment (Gln23–Arg233), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes fibroblast growth factor 8 as a secreted protein. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
