Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 Antibody [KT116]

This Antibodies.com primary antibody, supplied as a 200 µg liquid formulation in a vial, is a Rat monoclonal (clone KT116) IgG2a reagent specific for Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF1), also known as acidic FGF. The unconjugated antibody binds human FGF1 and is validated for ELISA and western blot workflows, supporting detection of the ~17 kDa mitogenic, heparin-binding growth factor in cell lysate and recombinant protein preparations. FGF1 has been studied in contexts including angiogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair, and metabolic regulation, where researchers examine its expression across diverse cell types. The IgG2a isotype is compatible with standard anti-rat secondary reagents, and the monoclonal format ensures reproducible lot-to-lot recognition of a defined FGF1 epitope. For long-term stability, aliquot the reagent and store frozen; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity. Intended for research use only.
