Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) superfamily

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a family of 22 proteins involved in many developmental processes. FGFs stimulate growth or differentiation of cells of mesodermal or neuroectodermal origin. FGFs are also used widely in organoid culture.

Qkine FGF portfolio includes many members of the FGF superfamily: FGF-1, FGF-2, FGF-4, FGF-7, FGF-8a, FGF-8b, FGF-9, FGF-10 and FGF-18.

We have developed an optimized fibroblast growth factor, a thermostable FGF-2 (bFGF) – FGF2-G3. This innovation was combined with our manufacturing expertise to generate animal origin-free thermostable FGF2-G3 proteins to provide compatibility with stem cell culture process development and scale-up. Additionally, we offer both FGF2-G3 145aa and the 154aa original form so you can compare directly with the wild-type FGF-2 that you currently use and species specific versions.

Qkine robust animal-free manufacturing platform, along with rigorous quality control procedures, ensure that all our fibroblast growth factors are:

• animal origin-free (AOF) and carrier protein-free
• highly pure (>98%, by SDS-PAGE quantitative densitometry)
• highly bioactive (equally or more bioactive than other dominant suppliers) and come with our Bioactivity Guarantee
• highly reproducible with excellent lot-to-lot consistency

Qkine is committed to manufacturing bioactive proteins of the highest quality to enhance scientific outcomes and improve reproducibility. All our products rigorously adhere to the Nine-point Qkine Quality Commitment. We guarantee the bioactivity of all our proteins to ensure that your results are reliable and reproducible every time.
