Fibroblast growth factors are growth factors that play crucial roles in angiogenesis, embryonic development, and wound-healing. FGFs are also involved in the proliferation and differentiation of various cells and tissues. FGF is used to promote stem cells and cell lines in culture. It is typically used in the concentration of 5-10 µg/mL. Recombinant Human bFGF-155 produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 155 amino acids.
