Function

Acts as a ligand for FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4 (PubMed:8663044). Also acts as an integrin ligand which is required for FGF2 signaling (PubMed:28302677). Binds to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 (PubMed:28302677). Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, cell differentiation and cell migration (PubMed:8663044, PubMed:28302677). Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro (PubMed:1721615, PubMed:3964259, PubMed:3732516). Can induce angiogenesis (PubMed:23469107, PubMed:28302677). Mediates phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and thereby promotes retinal lens fiber differentiation (PubMed:29501879).

Notes

Human FGF2 ELISA Kit (ab246531) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of FGF2 protein in cit plasma, hep plasma, serum, cell culture extracts, tissue extracts, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human FGF2 with 4 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Activity summary

FGF2 also known as FGF-2 or basic fibroblast growth factor is a protein that plays important roles in various cellular processes. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family and has a molecular weight of approximately 18 kDa. Scientists find FGF2 protein in many tissues including brain myocardium and bone. The protein can exist in different forms including recombinant variants. It interacts with cell surface receptors to exert its effects significantly influencing cell behavior.

Biological function summary

Various functions characterize FGF2 such as cell proliferation differentiation and migration. It does not act alone but is part of a larger protein complex. This complex includes FGF receptors which help mediate the binding of the FGF2 peptide ensuring proper signaling within the cells. FGF2 is important for development and repair processes making it an essential factor in tissue maintenance and regeneration.

Pathways

FGF2 plays a big role in critical pathways like the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt pathway. These pathways help regulate the processes of cell growth and survival. FGF2 interacts with other protein molecules such as FGFR1 and FGFR2 which serve as receptors to propagate the signaling cascade initiated by FGF2 binding. Its interaction in these pathways underlines its role in modulating important cellular responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

Scientists connect FGF2 with conditions such as cancer and atherosclerosis. The protein's deregulation may lead to abnormal cell proliferation contributing to tumor growth and vascular diseases. FGF2's interaction with proteins like FGFR1 can influence cancer progression and plaque formation in blood vessels. By understanding FGF2's role in these diseases researchers aim to develop targeted therapies that can potentially alter disease outcomes.

    Interpolated concentrations of native FGF2 in K562 cell culture supernatant samples.

    The concentrations of FGF2 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the FGF2 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: K562 supernatant 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean FGF2 concentration was determined to be 52.66 pg/mL in neat K562 cell culture supernatant.
