Recombinant Mouse FGF-Basic

Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are members of a family of proteins that exert pleiotropic effects in a range of cell types including skeletal myocytes.¹ Fibroblast growth factor basic (FGF basic) significantly promote angiogenesis; a central event for the growth and metastasis of solid tumors.² It is expressed in the brain, pituitary, kidney, retina, bone, testis, adrenal gland, liver, placenta, and monocytes, epithelial and endothelial cells. FGF-basic plays a central role during prenatal development and postnatal growth and regeneration of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-basic is one of the angiogenesis factors and may promote wound healing.³
