Fibroblast Growth Factor-Acidic Rat Recombinant ( FGF 1 Rat )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in 5mM Na2PO4, pH-7.5 and 50mM NaCl.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor-acidic in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Fibroblast Growth Factor-acidic Rat Recombinant (FGF-1) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15.9 kDa.The FGF acidic is purified by proprietary chromatographic techni

Protein Background

Acidic fibroblast growth factor is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell

Expression host
