Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1xPBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

Background

FGF-1 is a non-glycosylated and single polypeptide protein that is a well-classified member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) superfamily. It stimulates DNA synthesis and proliferation in a wide range of cells and is also involved in promoting angiogenesis and wound healing processes. It is capable of binding with all four FGFRs and exerts its intracellular effects through downstream PLCγ and MAPK pathways. Dysregulated FGF-1 signaling has been associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. It is also capable of inducing apoptosis in response to vascular injury and may have use as a potential therapeutic for cardiovascular diseases (PMID: 15469994, 24829797).
