Description

Introduction
FGF acidic, also known as aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1, ECGF, and HBGF 1, is a 17 kDa nonglycosylated member of the FGF family of mitogenic peptides. FGF acidic protein (aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1) is a potent growth factor for fibroblasts and endothelial cells (1). FGF acidic protein (aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1) is involved in wound repair, angiogenesis, and development (1). FGF acidic protein (aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1) is secreted from cells via an endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi independent mechanism (1,2). The ability of FGF acidic protein (aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1) to bind to heparin sulfate is required for its ability to interact with FGF receptors and induce signaling (1-4). There are four distinct FGF receptors and each has multiple splice variants (1,3). FGF acidic protein (aFGF/FGF-1/FGF1) binds with high affinity to many, but not all, FGFRs (1). Signaling cascades activated through FGF basic binding to FGFR include the ras-raf-MAPK, PLC /PKC, and PI3K/Akt pathways (1).

BP000029-C043: Recombinant Mouse Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF-1) Protein

Source: E. coli-derived.
Recombinant Mouse Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF-1) Protein is expressed with sequence (F16-D155) of Mouse FGF-A.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Phe-Asn-Leu-Pro-Leu.
The specific activity of Recombinant Mouse Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF-1) Protein is calculated by its ability to 2.0 x 106 IU/mg. The ED50 for this effect is typically less than 0.5 ug/ml as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by 3T3 cells in the presence of Heparin.
Purity: >95% by SEC-HPLC and reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin: < 0.1 ng/ug (1 IEU/ug).
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 500 mM NaCl, pH 6.6.
Reconstitution: Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Shipping: The product is shipped at 4°C. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
