Recombinant Mouse Fibroblast growth factor 2 (Fgf2)

Acts as a ligand for FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4 . Also acts as an integrin ligand which is required for FGF2 signaling . Binds to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 . Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, cell differentiation and cell migration . Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro . Can induce angiogenesis . Mediates phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and thereby promotes retinal lens fiber differentiation .

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
