Product Information
ibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF), also known as FGF-2, is a heparin-binding member of the FGF superfamily of molecules. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, bFGF is a critical component of embryonic stem cell culture medium, allowing cells to remain in an undifferentiated state in serum-free medium1,2. Stemfactor bFGF is an approximate 17 kDa protein consisting of 155 amino acid residues.
