Bovine, Acidic FGF

Acidic FGF, a member of the Class l heparin-binding growth factors (Lobb et al, JBC, 261, 1924, 1986) is structurally and functionally nearly identical to endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF), eye derived growth factor-II, and RDGF.  The peptide has potent angiogenic activity and is mitogenic, potentiated by heparin, for vascular endothelial cells and other mesoderm-derived cells. BTI offers both bovine acidic FGF and human recombinant acidic FGF.  BTI Bovine aFGF is purified to near homogeneity from bovine hypothalami using heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography (Burgess et al, JBC, 260: 11389, 1985).  The BTI human aFGF (15.5kDa) is produced in E.Coli (1-140 a.a.) and purified to near homogeneity. Both products are membrane filtered and aseptically lyophilized. (>90% Pure)
