This product is specific for human FGF basic, otherwise known as FGF 2 (fibroblast growth factor 2), a member of the heparin-binding growth factor family which exists in both cytosolic and nuclear isoforms, ranging in size from 18-24kDa, expressed by the majority of cells and tissues.
FGF 2 is a multi-functional growth factor identified as a potent inducer of angiogenesis, an important factor in wound healing, tumour vascularisation and cardiovascular disease and is pivotal for the development and maintenance of vascular integrity during embryogenesis.
