| Acidic fibroblast growth factor(aFGF) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor family. It is a potent mitogenic agent. aFGF has been detected in large amounts in the brain. Other cells known to express FGF acidic include hepatocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, CNS neurons, skeletal muscle cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, intestinal columnar epithelium cells and pituitary basophils and acidophils. The growth factor acts through activation of specific cell-surface receptors leading to intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation cascade. Recombinant human aFGF was overexpressed in E. coli and purified by conventional chromatography. | | | Catalog # | F4210-10D | | Molecular Weight | 15.9kD (141aa) | | Amino Acid Sequence | MFNLPPGNYK KPKLLYCSNG GHFLRILPDG TVDGTRDRSD QHIQLQLSAE SVGEVYIKST ETGQYLAMDT DGLLYGSQTP NEECLFLERL EENHYNTYIS KKHAEKNWFV GLKKNGSCKR GPRTHYGQKA | | ILFLPLPVSS D | | Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
