Product details
The Rat FGF1 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213914) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Rat FGF1 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for FGF1 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells; a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for FGF1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the rat FGF1 amount of sample captured in plate.
Heparin-binding growth factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor(FGF) family. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. The FGF1 gene was mapped to chromosome 5q31.3-q33.2 by in situ hybridization.

Biological function summary
FGF1 is involved in numerous cellular processes beyond simple cell proliferation. It binds to fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) on the cell surface initiating a cascade of downstream signaling events. This protein does not act alone; it is often a part of larger protein complexes that modulate cellular processes such as angiogenesis and wound healing. FGF1 is also implicated in nerve cell differentiation and survival through FGFR-mediated pathways.
Pathways
The FGF1 protein is integrally involved in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway a critical pathway that regulates cell division growth and differentiation. Through this pathway FGF1 interacts with various proteins including Ras Raf and ERK to propagate the signal necessary for mitogenic and survival responses. FGF1 is also a player in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway which helps control cellular responses to stress and metabolic regulation showing its role in cellular homeostasis.
