Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is a member of the FGF family that binds heparin and plays important roles in morphogenic, neurotrophic and angiogenic processes. FGF2 possess diverse biological functions, such as neuron differentiation, embryonic development and differentiation, modulation of angiogenesis, and wound healing. Recombinant human FGF2 was expressed in E.coli and purified by conventional chromatography techniques.
