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. |

| 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 growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. Three alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described. 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. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | Fibroblast growth factor 1, FGF-1, Acidic fibroblast growth factor, aFGF, Heparin-binding growth factor 1, HBGF-1, Fgf1, Fgfa, HBGF1. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FGF-a should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
