Recombinant bovine/porcine FGF-2 protein 145aa (bFGF/basic FGF) for the development of species-specific bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) cellular agriculture protocols and veterinary research applications. Used in comparative cell culture media optimization studies alongside Qk056, the 154aa form of porcine/bovine FGF-2.

FGF-2 is used extensively in the maintenance and proliferation of induced pluripotent (iPSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC) and for enhancement of proliferation in primary cell culture.

Qkine bovine/porcine FGF-2 protein is a high purity 16 kDa protein, animal origin-free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
