AURORA BIOLABS LLC Human FGF-basic, 100 μg
Supplier: AURORA BIOLABS LLC 120005CFL50
Recombinant human FGF-basic, also known as FGF-2 or bFGF, is a heparin-binding member of the FGF superfamily of at least 23 related mitogenic proteins. bFGF has been isolated from a number of sources, including neural tissue, pituitary, adrenal cortex, corpus luteum, and placenta. It is also involved in a number of biological processes including embryonic development, differentiation, survival, regeneration, migration, wound healing and tissue repair (ref:1-5). bFGF is a critical factor for growing embryonic stem cells in culture to remain in an undifferentiated state. A variety of forms of FGF basic are produced as different N-terminal extensions. These extensions of N-terminal affect localization of FGF basic in cellular compartments but do not affect biological activity. bFGF contains four cysteine residues. Two of them exist in free sulfhydryl form. bFGF is an instable molecule during storage and delivery.
