CytoGrow™ Recombinant bFGF/FGF-2 Human), E. coli, Tag Free, Non heat-stable
Recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/FGF-2) is produced in E. coli in a tag-free format. This non-heat stable version retains the full native sequence and exhibits potent biological activity in supporting cell proliferation and differentiation.
FGF-2 is a key regulator of embryonic development, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. It promotes the growth and maintenance of pluripotent stem cells, enhances endothelial cell proliferation, and stimulates wound healing processes. Unlike engineered heat-stable variants, this native form is sensitive to thermal degradation, requiring careful handling and storage. Recombinant human bFGF is widely used in stem cell culture, angiogenesis studies, and regenerative medicine research.
