FGF-1 Protein, Mouse (N-His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The FGF-1 protein plays a key role in regulating a variety of cellular processes, serving as a potent mitogen and ligand for FGFR1 and integrins. In the presence of heparin, FGF-1 binds to FGFR1, initiating dimerization and autophosphorylation, resulting in multiple signaling cascades. FGF-1 Protein, Mouse (N-His) is the recombinant mouse-derived FGF-1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Description

The FGF-1 protein plays a key role in regulating a variety of cellular processes, serving as a potent mitogen and ligand for FGFR1 and integrins. In the presence of heparin, FGF-1 binds to FGFR1, initiating dimerization and autophosphorylation, resulting in multiple signaling cascades. FGF-1 Protein, Mouse (N-His) is the recombinant mouse-derived FGF-1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The FGF-1 protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell survival, division, angiogenesis, differentiation, and migration. It acts as a potent mitogen and functions as a ligand for both FGFR1 and integrins. In the presence of heparin, FGF-1 binds to FGFR1, leading to dimerization and activation through autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues, which serve as docking sites for interacting proteins. This activation triggers multiple signaling cascades. FGF-1 also binds to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3, forming a ternary complex with FGFR1 and inducing the recruitment of PTPN11 to the complex, which is essential for FGF-1 signaling. It induces the phosphorylation and activation of FGFR1, FRS2, MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK1/ERK2, and AKT1, and can also stimulate angiogenesis. FGF-1 interacts with several receptors and proteins, including FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFBP1, S100A13, SYT1, LRRC59, CSNKA, CSNKB, and FIBP. Additionally, it forms a Cu(2+)-dependent multiprotein aggregate with S100A13 and SYT1. While the interaction of FGF-1 with LRRC59, CSNKA, and FIBP appears to be mutually exclusive, CSNKB and FIBP may cooperatively interact with FGF-1. Overall, FGF-1 plays a complex role in cellular processes through its interactions with various receptors and proteins.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 6.5 or 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 6.5, 8% trehalose.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

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.
