Discover the endless possibilities of life sciences and their impact on shaping a healthier and more sustainable world.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. Xu, et al. demonstrated that bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proli…
Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a hematopoietic growth factor that exerts its activity at the early stages of hematopoiesis. SCF stimulates the proliferation of myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow cultures and has been shown to act synergistically with colony stimulating factors. Recombinant human SCF is an 18.4 kDa protein containing 165 amino acid residues corresponding to the soluble secreted form of SCF.
M-CSF is a potent hematopoietic factor produced by a variety of cells including lymphocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, myoblasts and osteoblasts. It is involved in development, differentiation, and survival of blood monocytes, tissue macrophages and their progenitor cells. The human is reactive in murine systems, but the murine molecule exhibits no activity on human cells.
Vascular Endothelial Cell Growth Factor (VEGF) is a homodimeric protein secreted by a variety of vascularized tissues. The reported activities of VEGF include stimulation of endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, and capillary permeability. Chemicon's mouse VEGF is a 39 kDa homodimeric protein consisting of two 165 amino acid polypeptide chains comprising the full length mouse VEGF164 sequence and an N-terminal methionine resi…

The reported activities of VEGF include stimulation of endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, and capillary permeability. Human VEGF is a 38.2 kDa homodimeric protein consisting of two 165 amino acid polypeptide chains.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-8 (FGF-8) is a heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptors. Recombinant Human FGF-8 is a 22.4 kDa protein containing 193 amino residues.
Human BAFF (B-cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family) is a novel ligand in the TNF family. BAFF plays an important role as co-stimulator of B-cell proliferation and function. Recombinant human BAFF is a soluble 17.0 kDa protein containing 153 amino acid residues, comprising the TNF-like extracellular domain of BAFF.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. Human EGF is a 6.2 kDa protein containing 53 amino acid residues.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor, which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. Recombinant murine EGF is a 6.2 kDa protein containing 54 amino acid residues.
Glucagon is a 3,5 kDa hormone secreted by the A cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and is involved in regulation of glucose homeostasis thro µgh enhanced synthesis and mobilization of glucose in the liver, and regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
GLP-1 is secreted from gut endocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion and plays multiple roles in metabolic homeostasis.
