General description

Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is a basic heparin binding growth factor and a profibrotic factor. The recombinant mouse FGF-2 is a single, non-glycosylated chain containing 145 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 16.3kDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 1 mg/ml solution after extensive dialysis against 20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 and 130 mM NaCl.

Tissue-engineered vascular grafts are widely tested as a promising substitute for both arterial bypass and replacement surgery. We previously demonstrated that incorporation of VEGF into electrospun tubular scaffolds from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/poly(ε-caprolactone) enhances formation of an endothelial cell monolayer. However, an overdose
