FGF2 (Fibroblast growth factor 2) is a multifunctional growth factor belonging to the fibroblast growth factor family, which regulates cell growth, survival, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Also known as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), FGF2 exerts its biological activity by binding to FGF receptors and activating downstream signaling pathways such as MAPK, PI3K-AKT, and PLCγ. A FGF2 antibody is widely used to study processes involving tissue repair, embryonic development, and vascular biology.
FGF2 is expressed in a variety of tissues and exists in several isoforms generated by alternative translation initiation. These isoforms differ in their cellular localization and biological function, with the low molecular weight form being secreted and associated with paracrine signaling, while high molecular weight isoforms function primarily in the nucleus. Using a FGF2 antibody allows researchers to examine these isoforms, track their cellular distribution, and evaluate their contributions to signaling networks.
Functionally, FGF2 plays a critical role in angiogenesis by promoting endothelial cell proliferation and migration, making it a key regulator in wound healing and tissue regeneration. It also supports neuronal survival, bone formation, and stem cell maintenance. Aberrant expression of FGF2 has been implicated in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory conditions, highlighting its relevance in both health and disease. Employing a FGF2 antibody helps advance research into these pathways and their therapeutic targeting.
NSJ Bioreagents provides a high-quality FGF2 antibody validated for applications such as western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. Selecting a FGF2 antibody from NSJ Bioreagents ensures reliable results and reproducibility in studies of growth factor biology, angiogenesis, and tissue development.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the FGF2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Human partial recombinant protein (AA 143-288) was used as the immunogen for this FGF2 antibody.
After reconstitution, the FGF2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
