Human FGF1/FGF acidic protein

The recombinant Human FGF1/FGF acidic protein consists of 140 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 15.5 KD.

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per ug of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human FGF1/FGF acidic protein using the buffer we provided not less than 100 ug/mL, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

The product is shipped at ambient temperature.

FGF1, also known as FGF acidic, ECGF, aFGF and HBGF-1, is a nonglycosylated member of the FGF family of mitogenic peptides. FGF1, which is produced by multiple cell types, stimulates the proliferation of all cells of mesodermal origin and many cells of neuroectodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal origin. FGF1 protein shows a wide range of endocrine-like activities. As a multiple function growth factor, this protein is involved in embryo development and tissue repair. Additionally, this protein is considered to function in several important physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development, morphogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing and atheromatosis, carcinogenesis, development, and invasion of cancer.
