Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described. |

Storage : |
It is stable for up to 6 months from date of receipt when stored at -20 centigrade. Multiple freeze/thaw cycles should be avoided as it can result in significant loss of activity. |
Storage Buffer : |
Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized with no additives. |
Reconstitution : |
Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute in sterile water to aconcentration of 0.1 -1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it isrecommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20 to -80 centigrade. |
