products description :
For Samples: Cell culture fluid & body fluid & tissue homogenate serum or blood plasma. Intended Uses: This BFGF ELISA kit is intended for laboratory research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The stop solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of BFGF in the sample, this BFGF ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus BFGF concentration. The concentration of in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. Principle of the Assay: The coated well immunoenzymatic assay for the quantitative measurement of BFGF utilizes a polyclonal anti-BFGF antibody and an BFGF-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with BFGF-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the BFGF concentration since BFGF from samples and BFGF-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-BFGF antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by BFGF from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind BFGF-HRP conjugate Standards of known BFGF concentrations are run concurrently with the samples being assayed and a standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of BFGF. The BFGF concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members bind heparin and possess broad mitogenic and angiogenic activities. This protein has been implicated in diverse biological processes, such as limb and nervous system development, wound healing, and tumor growth. The mRNA for this gene contains multiple polyadenylation sites, and is alternatively translated from non-AUG (CUG) and AUG initiation codons, resulting in five different isoforms with distinct properties. The CUG-initiated isoforms are localized in the nucleus and are responsible for the intracrine effect, whereas, the AUG-initiated form is mostly cytosolic and is responsible for the paracrine and autocrine effects of this FGF.

uniprot summary :
FGF2: Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as potent mitogen in vitro. Monomer. Homodimer. Interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors. Interacts with CSPG4, FGFBP1 and TEC. Found in a complex with FGFBP1, FGF1 and FGF2. Expressed in granulosa and cumulus cells. Expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, but not in non- cancerous liver tissue. Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative initiation. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Activator.
