Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

FGF1 also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 17 kDa. FGF1 is expressed in a variety of tissues such as the brain liver and heart and plays an essential role in cell growth development and repair. The FGF1 protein is sometimes studied using techniques such as FGF1 ELISA which helps in quantifying and understanding its expression levels and activity in different contexts.
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.

FGF1 is associated with conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The deregulation of FGF1 expression or its signaling pathways can lead to tumor development and progression with FGF1 often interacting with other proteins like the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in these contexts. In cardiovascular diseases altered FGF1 signaling might contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiac repair processes where its interaction with other growth factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is significant.

Target data

Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro. Acts as a ligand for FGFR1 and integrins. Binds to FGFR1 in the presence of heparin leading to FGFR1 dimerization and activation via sequential autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues which act as docking sites for interacting proteins, leading to the activation of several signaling cascades. Binds to integrin ITGAV : ITGB3. Its binding to integrin, subsequent ternary complex formation with integrin and FGFR1, and the recruitment of PTPN11 to the complex are essential for FGF1 signaling. Induces the phosphorylation and activation of FGFR1, FRS2, MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK1/ERK2 and AKT1 (PubMed : 18441324, PubMed : 20422052). Can induce angiogenesis (PubMed : 23469107).
