Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is a member of the FGF family that binds heparin and plays , important roles in morphogenic, neurotrophic and angiogenic processes. FGF2 possess diverse biological functions, such as neuron differentiation, embryonic development and differentiation, modulation of angiogenesis, and...

Single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of wound healing and is a potent inducer of angiogenesis. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages. It was originally named basic fibroblast...

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF2) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family. In normal tissue, bFGF is present in basement membranes and in the subendothelial extracellular matrix of blood vessels. It stays membrane-bound as long as there is no signal peptide. It has been hypothesized that,...

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...
