Human recombinant FGF-1 (Fibroblast growth factor-acidic) protein, AF

About this product

Fibroblast Growth Factors-1 (FGF-1) is a Growth Factors of mitogenic peptides which is a 15 kDa protein containing 139 amino acid residues. Fibroblast Growth Factors-1 is secreted by the macrophage which induce endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. During wound injury, fibroblast Growth Factors-1 helps the tissue remodeling. When the fibroblast Growth Factors-1 binds with the FGFR on the cell membrane which is endocytosed by FGFR and induces the cell cycle.

Cell Culture

Purification

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Bioactivity

Measure by its ability to induce 3T3 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <0.3 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human FGF-1 is > 1 x 106 IU/mg.

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Molecular Weight

The protein has a calculated MW of 16.77 kDa. The protein migrates as 18kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis) .

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
