Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: Ala135-Ser288
• Description: Basic fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF-2, bFGF, FGF-β), a 18 kDa pleiotropic cytokine, plays multiple roles in different cells and tissues. FGF-2 can stimulate smooth muscle cell growth, wound healing, and tissue repair. In addition, FGF-2 has been shown to regulate the generation of neurons and astrocytes from progenitor cells. FGF-2 are also involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. As a multifunctional cytokine, FGF-2 is first isolated from the pituitary. Later, it was identified from various cell types including cardiac myocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Bio-activity: Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is < 1 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human FGF-2 is approximately >5 × 10⁵ IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 18.1 kDa.
  The protein migrates as 17 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
• Storage: This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
  -20 or -80 centigrade for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
  Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS containing 0.01% sarkosyl, pH 8.0.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
• Shipping: The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20 centigrade or lower for long term storage.
