Recombinant Human FGF-basic (FGF-2) is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 155aa and having a molecular weight of 17.3kD. The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined to be Ala-Glu-Gly-Glu-Ile. Source: Recombinant Human FGF-basic, expressed in E. coli. , Molecular...

Single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of wound healing and is a potent inducer of angiogenesis. It binds to heparin, which potentiates its biological activity and protects it from proteolysis. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety...

Acidic fibroblast growth factor(aFGF) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor family. It is a potent mitogenic agent. aFGF has been detected in large amounts in the brain. Other cells known to express FGF acidic include hepatocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, CNS neurons, skeletal muscle cells, fibroblasts,...

Acidic FGF is a mitogen for cells of mesodermal and neuroectodermal origin, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, astrocytes, neuroblasts, osteoblasts, and smooth muscle cells. This protein is composed of 140aa residues, and has a 55% homology with basic FGF, including two conserved cysteine residues. Biological...

Growth factor additive in cell culture media for mesoderm and neuroectoderm-derived cells. Half maximum stimulation of cell proliferation with bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE cells) is reached using < 3ng/ml. Biological Activity: < 3 ng/ml for half maximum stimulation of cell proliferation with bovine aortic...
