Description: FGF-acidic belongs to the extensive FGF family, comprising 23 known members. These proteins are vital in prenatal development, postnatal growth, and tissue regeneration by encouraging cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-acidic, specifically, is a non-glycosylated growth factor that binds to heparin, found in various tissues such as the brain, kidney, retina, smooth muscle cells, bone matrix, osteoblasts, astrocytes, and endothelial cells. It interacts with all FGF receptors, showcasing its broad signaling capabilities. The recombinant Human FGF-acidic is a 16.8 kDa protein made up of 141 amino acid residues.
