This antibody recognises basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The antibody binds strongly to bFGF attached to proteoglycans, but is competitively displaced by heparin. Not suitable for detecting bFGF bound to cell surface receptors.
Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections. ELISA. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

FGF basic (FGF2) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members bind heparin and possess broad mitogenic and angiogenic activities. FGF2 is involved in diverse biological processes, such as limb and nervous system development, wound healing, and tumor growth. FGF2 mRNA contains multiple polyadenylation sites, and is alternatively translated from AUG and non-AUG (CUG) initiation codons resulting in five different isoforms with distinct properties. The CUG-initiated isoforms are localized in the nucleus and are responsible for the intracrine effect, whereas, the AUG-initiated form is mostly cytosolic and is responsible for the paracrine and autocrine effects of this FGF.Synonyms: BFGF, FGFB, Fibroblast growth factor 2 (basic), HBGF-2, HBGF2, Heparin-binding growth factor 2
