FGF-1 (acidic fibroblast growth factor) is a member of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) group. Members of the FGF family are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, Tumor growth and invasion. This protein controls and alters the cell migration and proliferation of endothelial cells and a variety of other cell types. The heparin-binding fibroblast growth factors are important factors of angiogenesis and potent mitogens for different cell types. FGF-1 human recombinant is an in E. coli made, non-glycosylated one-chain polypeptide. It consists of 140 amino acids and has a molecular mass of about 15.8 kDa. FGF-1 is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Synonyms: HBGF-1, ECGF-beta, FIBP, FGFIBP, FIBP-1, ECGF, ECGFA, GLIO703, FGF1, FGF-a

FGF-2 (basic FGF) is a member of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) group. Members of the FGF family are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, Tumor growth and invasion. This protein controls and alters the cell migration and proliferation of endothelial cells and a variety of other cell types. The heparin-binding fibroblast growth factors are important factors of angiogenesis and potent mitogens for different cell types. FGF-2 human recombinant is an in E. coli made, non-glycosylated one-chain polypeptide. It consists of 154 amino acids and has a molecular mass of about 17.2 kDa. FGF-2 is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.

EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture.
Epidermal growth factor has a profound effect on the differentiation of specific cells in vivo and is a potent mitogenic factor for a variety of cultured cells of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. The EGF precursor is believed to exist as a membrane-bound molecule which is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 53-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates cells to divide.
Synonyms: Urogastrone, URG, EGF

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-b) mediate many cell-cell interactions that occur during embryonic development. Three different TGF-b have been identified in mammals.
TGF b1, TGF-b2 and TGF-b3 are each synthesized as precursor proteins that are very similar in that each is cleaved to yield a 112 amino acid polypeptide that remains associated with the latent portion of the molecule. TGF-b3 human recombinant produced in E. coli is a disulfide-linked homo-dimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing two 112 amino acid chains and having a total molecular mass of 25.5 kDa. The TGF-b3 is purified by standard chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms: TGFB3, ARVD, FLJ16571, TGF-beta3

Stem Cell Factor Human Recombinant is produced in E.Coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids and have a molecular mass of 18409 Dalton.
Stem cell factor / KIT ligand (SCF) is a cytokine which binds CD117(c-Kit). SCF exists in two forms, cell surface bound SCF and soluble (freely circulating in the plasma) SCF. Soluble SCF is produced by the cleavage of surface bound SCF by metalloproteases.
SCF is a growth factor important for the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and other hematopoietic progenitor cells.
One of its roles is to change the BFU-E (burst-forming unit-erythroid) cells, which are the earliest erythrocyte precursors in the erythrocytic series, into the CFU-E (colony-forming unit-erythroid).
Synonyms: Kit ligand Precursor, C-kit ligand, SCF, Mast cell growth factor, MGF, SF, KL-1, Kitl, DKFZp686F2250
