FGF 2 Rat

Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic Rat Recombinant

bFGF Rat Recombinant (FGF-2) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 145 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16.3 kDa.
The bFGF2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Accession

P13109

Amino acid sequence

Biological Activity

The ED50 range as determined by the dose-dependant proliferation of BALB/3T3 cells was found to be less than 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5,000,000 IU/mg.

Formulation

FGF-b was lyophilized from 1 mg/ml solution after extensive dialysis against 20mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 and 130mM NaCl.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Purity

Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rat bFGF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Stability

Lyophilized Rat bFGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution Rat FGF-2 should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
