{"product_id":"cst-61977s","title":"CST,  61977S, Human FGF-basic\/FGF2 (154 aa) Recombinant Protein","description":"Growth Factors and Cytokines for studying FGF2 (bFGF) in the research area.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nWorking concentration of hFGF-basic generally ranges from 0.1-10 ng\/ml.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nHuman FGF-basic Recombinant Protein is supplied as lyophilized material that is very stable at -20°C. It is recommended to reconstitute with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mg\/ml which can be further diluted in aqueous solutions as needed. Addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long term storage. Once in solution, store at 4°C and use within 1 month, or store at -20ºC to -80ºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles if storing reconstituted material at -20ºC to -80ºC.\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nHuman FGF-basic Recombinant Protein was expressed in and is supplied in a lyophilized form.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nFGF basic (FGF2) is produced by epithelial, tumor and other cell types (1). FGF basic is involved in developmental processes and regulates differentiation, proliferation, and migration (1-6). FGF basic is a critical factor for growing embryonic stem cells in culture without inducing differentiation. FGF basic has a high affinity for heparan sulfate (1,2) and FGF-heparan sulfate binding is a step in the activation of FGFR tyrosine kinase. There are four distinct FGF receptors and each has multiple splice variants. FGF basic binds with high affinity to many, but not all, FGFRs. Signaling cascades activated through FGF basic binding to FGFR include the ras-raf-MAPK, PLCγ\/PKC, and PI3K\/AKT pathways (1).","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800715415721,"sku":"61977S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-61977s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
