Description:
Background: Acidic fibroblast growth factor is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic devel
Uniprot Name:
Heparin-binding growth factor 1

Sterile filtered liquid in 20 mM Tris HCl buffer, pH 7.9 + 100 mM KCl + 0.2 mM DTT + 20% Glycerol.
Purity:
>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity:
ED50: <10 ng/ml (Calculated by the dose-dependant proliferation of BAF3 cells expressing FGF receptors measured by 3H-thymidine uptake).
Specific Activity:
10E5 units/mg
