Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse BALB/c 3T3 cells and is typically less than 1 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Hu Fibroblast Growth Factor 154 basic purity was determined to be greater than 97% as determined by analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE.
Background: Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are a 22 member family of proteins known to be involved in angiogenesis, wound healing and embryonic development. As a family, they bind to heparin and signal through four receptor tyrosine kinases called, FGFR1, 2, 3 and 4. Although the mechanism remains unclear, FGF-basic 154, also known as FGF-2, is a critical component in keeping embryonic stem cells undifferentiated in cell culture systems. Recombinant human FGF-b 154 (FGF-2) is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 154 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 17.2 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
