Background

FGF-1 Protein assumes a pivotal role in intricately regulating cell survival, division, angiogenesis, differentiation, and migration. Functioning as a potent mitogen in vitro, it acts as a ligand for FGFR1 and integrins. Binding to FGFR1, particularly in the presence of heparin, leads to FGFR1 dimerization and activation through sequential autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues. This activation serves as docking sites for interacting proteins, initiating several signaling cascades. Furthermore, FGF-1 Protein binds to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3, forming a ternary complex with integrin and FGFR1, crucial for FGF1 signaling. Inducing the phosphorylation and activation of FGFR1, FRS2, MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK1/ERK2, and AKT1, it demonstrates its involvement in diverse cellular processes. Additionally, FGF-1 Protein's ability to induce angiogenesis further underscores its multifaceted role. Interactions with FGFRs, integrins, and various proteins within complex networks highlight its intricate participation in cellular signaling pathways, emphasizing its significance in cell physiology.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 8.0, trehalose.

Endotoxin Level

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

Reconstitution

It is recommended to reconstitute to a concentration of 100-200 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
