General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DMAB-CBAS035) is a mouse-derived monoclonal antibody raised against human FGF2. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. FGF2, also known as basic fibroblast growth factor, is a key regulator of cellular function in various tissues. It binds and activates FGF receptors, primarily through the RAS-MAPK pathway, to regulate processes like cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and angiogenesis. FGF2 has been implicated in a number of diseases and pathological conditions. It plays an important role in wound healing and tissue engineering, but its overexpression can also lead to cellular overgrowth and malignancy. FGF2 has been linked to bone disorders like osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and pathological bone fractures by impacting genetic expression and signaling pathways. It has also been associated with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia, where altered FGF2 levels can have both positive and negative effects. Additionally, FGF2 has been shown to function as an immunomodulatory factor, regulating inflammatory processes in diseases like asthma and COPD. Overall, the diverse functions of FGF2 make it an important target for understanding and potentially treating a wide range of diseases.
DMAB-CBAS035 is suitable for use in ELISA(Det) application.
DMAB-CBAS035 is supplied as a liquid formulation in Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), carrier-free, with optional 0.09% sodium azide. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
