Brain-derived acidic fibroblast growth factor (102-111) is a peptide fragment of brain-derived acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF).1 aFGF is an angiogenic vascular endothelial cell mitogen produced in bovine brain that has sequence homology to interleukin-1.2 It also shares sequence homology with the known neuropeptides neuromedin C (Item No. 24706), bombesin (Item No. 24151), neuromedin K (neurokinin B; Item No. 24542), substance K (neurokinin A; Item No. 24221), substance P (Item No. 24035), physalaemin, and eledoisin. aFGF (102-111) corresponds to amino acid residues 102-111 of the fulllength peptide.1WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
