Recombinant Human FGF basic represents the C-terminal protion of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (A135 - S288).
Fibroblast growth factor basic (FGF basic), also known as FGF 2, is a heparin binding growth factor which has stimulatory activity on a range of cells of mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial origin.
Note: FGF basic is sensitive to acidic conditions.

Product Details
- Target Species
- Human
- Product Form
- Purified recombinant protein expressed in E. coli - lyophilized
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute with 0.5 ml Tris (5mM, pH7.6).
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. Further dilutions may be prepared in a buffer containing a carrier protein (eg 0.1% BSA). - Buffer Solution
- TRIS buffered saline.
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Carrier Free
- Yes
- Activity
- 2 x 106 units/mg
- Purity
- >95% by SDS PAGE and HPLC analysis
- Approx. Protein Concentrations
- Total protein concentration 0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution.
- Protein Molecular Weight
- 17.2 kD (154 amino acid sequence)
- Endotoxin Level
- < 0.1 ng/ug
Storage Information
- Storage
- Prior to reconstitution store at -20oC. Following reconstitution store at -20oC.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. - Guarantee
- Guaranteed for 3 months from the date of reconstitution or until the date of expiry, whichever comes first. Please see label for expiry date.
