Recombinant Human FGF1 Protein without tag was produced in an animal component free process under cGMP guidelines.
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
Species:
Human
Applications:
Investigated for use/treatment in coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.
Not For Human Consumption!
