Biochem/physiol Actions

The FGF1 ELISA kit provides for the quantitative measurement of Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 in Cell Culture Supernatants, Plasma and Serum.

FGF1 (fibroblast growth factor 1) is mainly involved in cell growth, proliferation and neurogenesis. It also participates in wound healing, post-ischemic heart repair and making of collaterals after hindlimb ischemia. FGF1 functions as an angiogenic factor that participates in tissue repair, carcinogenesis and maintenance of vasculature stability.

General description

FGF1 (fibroblast growth factor 1) gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It encodes a pro-angiogenic protein that is ubiquitously expressed. In humans, FGF1 is alternatively spliced into four forms: FGF1A (in kidney), FGF1B (in brain), FGF1-C and -D (in vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts). This gene is located on human chromosome 5q31.
