Description

Our bioactive Factory Price Fgf-1 (fgf-acidic) Rat, E. Coli Recombinant Protein Special: 75% Discount [eP0AuMX8], also known as Fibroblast Growth Factor 1, is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain that contains 141 amino acids and has a 15.9 kDa molecular mass. The FGF-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Summary

FGF-acidic, a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, is a non-glycosylated heparin binding growth factor encoded by the FGF1 gene. FGF-acidic plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as potent mitogen in vitro. Acts as a ligand for FGFR1 and integrins. Binds to FGFR1 in the presence of heparin leading to FGFR1 dimerization and activation via sequential autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues which act as docking sites for interacting proteins, leading to the activation of several signaling cascades. Binds to integrins. Its binding to integrins and subsequent ternary complex formation with integrins and FGFR1 are essential for FGF1 signaling.

Formulation

Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The protein was lyophilized at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in 5mM Na₂PO₄, pH-7.5 and 50mM NaCl.

Purity

Purity greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse BALB/c 3T3 cells, is less than 0.2 ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 5x10⁶ IU/mg.

Reconstitution

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FGF-1 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping
