rec. bovine Fibroblast Growth Factor-Basic - rbFGF-b

Product information "rec. bovine Fibroblast Growth Factor-Basic - rbFGF-b"

FGF-basic is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members bind heparin and possess broad mitogenic and angiogenic activities. This protein has been implicated in diverse biological processes, such as limb and nervous system development, wound healing, and tumor growth. The mRNA for this gene contains multiple polyadenylation sites, and is alternatively translated from AUG and non-AUG (CUG) initiation codons resulting in five different isoforms with distinct properties. The CUG-initiated isoforms are localized in the nucleus and are responsible for the intracrine effect, whereas, the AUG-initiated form is mostly cytosolic and is responsible for the paracrine and autocrine effects of this FGF. The heparin-binding growth factors are angiogenic agents in vivo and are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types in vitro. there are differences in the tissue distribution and concentration of these 2 growth factors. Rec. bovine FGF-2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain of 155 amino acids and a molecular mass of 17250 Dalton.

Synonyms: HBGH-2, HBGF-2, Prostatropin, FGF-2, FGB-b.
