Background FGF-basic is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. 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. FGF-basic is a non-glycosylated heparin binding growth factor that is expressed in the brain, pituitary, kidney, retina, bone, testis, adrenal gland liver, monocytes, epithelial cells and endothelial cells.
FGF-basic signals through FGFR 1b, 1c, 2c, 3c and 4.
Storage Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C for 6 months, at RT for one month 
or at -20°C to -80°C for longer.
Following reconstitution store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month
or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Shelf life: one year from despatch.

Biological activity:

Assay 1:
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors is ≤ 0.5 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2 x 106 units/mg.
Assay 2: The ED50 was determined by a cell proliferation assay using balb/c 3T3 cells is ≤ 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 1 x 107 units/mg.
Molecular weight:
(154 aminon acids)
Format
Buffer System:
5 mM Tris, pH 7.6, containing 150 mM NaCl
Endotoxin level:
< 0.1 ng per µg (1EU/µg)
Purity:
>95% pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses
State:
Lyophilized (0.2µ Sterile filtered) purified protein
Purified
Reconstitution:
Restore in 5 mM Tris, pH 7.6, to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml.
This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4°C for one week or at -20°C for future use.
