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
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.
