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

< 0.1 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS with 0.01% sarkosyl, pH 8.0.
Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.

A DNA sequence encoding the mouse Fgf2 (NP_032032.1) (Ala11-Ser154) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
