Description:

Fibroblast growth factor was found in pituitary extracts in 1973 and then tested in a bioassay that caused fibroblasts to proliferate. After further fractionating the extract using acidic and basic pH, two different forms have isolated that named “acidic fibroblast growth factor" (FGF1) and “basic fibroblast growth factor” (FGF2). Human FGF-acidic shares 54% amino acid sequence identity with FGF-basic. bFGF plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. bFGF are also involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion.
Manufacturing and testing of this product complies with ICH Q7 guidelines.

Storage/Stability:

Lyophilized vial is shipped at ambient temperature. Immediately upon receipt, store unopened vial at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C for up to 36 months. Upon reconstitution, prepare working aliquots and store at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C. It is recommended that a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is added for long term storage. For short term storage reconstituted material is stable for 4-6 weeks when stored at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
