Anti-FGF2 Antibody Picoband®

Anti-FGF2 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

FGF2 has been implicated in a multitude of physiologic and pathologic processes, including limb development, angiogenesis, wound healing, and tumor growth. Human FGF2 shares 96% and 97% amino acid sequence homology with mouse and rat respectively. FGF2 belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) exhibit widespread mitogenic and neurotrophic activities. Nine members of the family are currently known, and FGF-1 and FGF-2 are present in relatively high levels in CNS. FGF-2 is expressed by at low levels in many tissues and cell types and reaches high concentrations in brain and pituitary.

Gene Name Synonym

Fibroblast growth factor 2

Subcellular Location

Secreted. Nucleus. Exported from cells by an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) /Golgi-independent mechanism. Unconventional secretion of FGF2 occurs by translocation across the plasma membrane. Binding of exogenous FGF2 to FGFR facilitates endocytosis followed by translocation of FGF2 across endosomal membrane into the cytosol. Nuclear import from the cytosol requires the classical nuclear import machinery, involving proteins KPNA1 and KPNB1, as well as CEP57.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.

Protein Name

Fibroblast growth factor 2

Isotype

Rabbit IgG
