Background: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), also known as FGF2, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It is a highly specific chemotactic and mitogenic factor for many cell types, appears to be involved in remodeling damaged tissue, such as ulcer healing, vascular repair, traumatic brain injury (TBI). bFGF is a critical component of human embryonic stem cell culture medium. In addition, bFGF protein is a heparin-binding cationic protein involved in a variety of pathological conditions including angiogenesis and solid tumour growth. Thus, bFGF is regarded as a target for cancers chemopreventive and therapeutic strategies. bFGF/FGF2 Protein & Antibody Products

Concentration:

Activity: Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <1.5 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse FGF-2 is approximately >1 x 10⁶ IU/mg.

Sequence: Ala11-Ser154

Purity: > 98 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
