Hu Recom FGF-acidic, ACF, 10 µg

Acid fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1, aFGF) is a 154 amino acid heparin-binding mitogen that signals through FGF receptors to drive proliferation, migration, and differentiation in many cell types, including neural progenitors and mesenchymal stem cells. This STEMCELL Technologies preparation is expressed and purified under animal component-free (ACF) conditions, supplied as a single 10 µg vial, and intended for cell culture research in defined or xeno-free workflows. The lyophilized format is compatible with reconstitution in buffers containing 0.1% BSA or carrier protein; working aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees C and protected from freeze-thaw cycles to preserve activity. Typical applications include neural stem cell maintenance, vascular and angiogenesis studies, wound healing models, and dose-response comparisons against FGF-2 (bFGF) and other family members.
