Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF 2) human (RECOMBINANT)

- Overview
  - Human Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor is a mitogen that stimulates cell growth for such cells as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, myoblasts, glial cells and smooth muscle cells. Basic FGF is composed of 146 amino acid residues (pro 1 to ser 146), and is 55% homologous with acidic FGF, including two conserved cysteine residues. Human basic FGF is produced by genetically engineered yeast, and purified by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography.

- Properties
  - Type
    
    Recombinant Proteins
    
    Purification
    
    Over 95% pure by N-terminal amino acid sequencing, amino acid composition, HPLC analysis, and SDS gel electrophoresis.
    
    Formulation
    
    Lyophilized powder
    
    Storage
    
    Store at +4°C. Reconstitution is best in water or buffer near neutral pH, since it is unstable in acidic solutions. After reconstitution, storage in aliquots at -80°C is recommended.
    
    Molecular Weight
    
    17.5 KDa
    
    Activity
    
    The mitogenic activity of human basic FGF is identical to natural bovine basic FGF, as measured by stimulation of 3H-thymidine incorporation into human foreskin fibroblast cells.
    
    * For research use ONLY in laboratory animals and in vitro testing. NOT for diagnostic or human use.
