Description

Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-basic), also known as FGF-2, is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation.

Biological Activity

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. Raines, E.W. et al. (1985) Methods Enzymol. 109:749. The ED50 for this effect is 0.100-0.600 ng/mL.The specific activity of Recombinant Human FGF basic/FGF2 GMP is >8.00 x 105 IU/mg, which is calibrated against the human FGF basic/FGF2 WHO International Standard (NIBSC code: 90/712).

Endotoxin

<0.01 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
