bFGF Peptide

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF2), also called heparin-binding growth factor 2 is an angiogenic agent in vivo and potent mitogen for a variety of cell types in vitro. bFGF activates the MAP kinase signaling pathway and plays a role in synaptic transmission. In additon bFGF induces cell proliferation and binds heparin more strongly than aFGF.
