Description
FGF-2, also known as basic fibroblast growth factor, is a canonical FGF that belongs to the FGF-1 subfamily. It is a regulator of proliferation, migration, differentiation, cell survival, and stemness in human stem cells. More over,FGF-2 play a major role in skeletal development, bone formation, and fracture repair, which make FGF-2 an attractive molecule for clinical and pharmaceutical applications in bone regeneration.
Molecular Weight
Approximately 16.5 kDa.
Purity
> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin
<0.1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge tubes before opening. Dissolve lyophilized protein with PBS to ensure the concentration is greater than 100 ug/mL.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
