Description

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF-2) is expressed by endothelial cells and is a mediator of angiogenesis. FGF-2 also has cardioprotective functions during heart injury. The application of FGF-2 is a critical component for human embryonic stem cell culture systems and is necessary for maintaining human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state.

Activity Assay

Rat FGF-2 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the dose-dependent induced proliferation of NR6R 3T3 cells and it is typically less than 1 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1.0 x 106 units/mg.
