General description
Product Source: HumanKine growth factors are expressed in a proprietary human 293 protein expression system and are manufactured without the use of any animal products and are considered Xeno-Free.
The HumanKine Thermostable bFGF is engineered with enchanced thermostability compared to the wild-type bFGF protein without modification of biological function.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proliferation of human embryonic stem (hES) cells under feeder-free conditions.

Quality
Bioactivity assay: Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of the 3T3 cell line. EC50 is typically ≤0.5 ng/mL.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 1X PBS.
Storage and Stability
Store at -20°C for up to 4 months from date of receipt. Further dilutions should be made into appropriate buffer or medium to which protein has been added.

HMGB1-RAGE signaling plays an integral role in inflammation-driven carcinogenesis. In the present study, we showed that RAGE has direct association with K-Ras following HMGB1 exposure in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed a significant co-localization between RAGE and K-Ras

The unique characteristics of chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) provide potential strategies for transgenic animal generation; however, insufficient PGC availability has limited their application. Regulation of bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4), a crucial factor for PGCs formation, may provide new

Altered neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) activity and neurodevelopmental defects are linked to intellectual disability. However, it remains unclear whether altered metabolism, a key regulator of NSPC activity, disrupts human neurogenesis and potentially contributes to cognitive defects. We investigated links between
