Biological Activity

Description

FGF-1 Protein, Human is a growth factor and signaling protein encoded by the FGF1 gene.

Background

Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor is involved in a wide spectrum of biological functions including tissue development and repair, angiogenesis, proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, and tumorigenesis. The biological activities of Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor depend on binding to highly specific cell surface receptors, among which, fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is highly specific[1].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 is <0.3 ng/mL, measured by a cell proliferation assay of 3T3 Cells, corresponding to a specific activity of > 3.3 × 106 IU/mg in the presence of 10.0 μg/ml of heparin.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 6.8.
3.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 6.8, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
