Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/c 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells, the EC50 for this effect is 0.0091-0.019ng/ml.
*Recombinant FGF-basic Heat Stable protein was incubated at 4°C or 37°C for 3 days in media. The protein retained similar activity indicating that the Heat Stable protein
has increased thermal stability.

Background
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), also known as FGF2, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It is a highly specific chemotactic and mitogenic factor for many cell types, appears to be involved in remodeling damaged tissue, such as ulcer healing, vascular repair, traumatic brain injury (TBI). bFGF is a critical component of human embryonic stem cell culture medium. In addition, bFGF protein is a heparin-binding cationic protein involved in a variety of pathological conditions including angiogenesis and solid tumour growth. Thus, bFGF is regarded as a target for cancers chemopreventive and therapeutic strategies.
