OVERVIEW
SUSTAINABILITY

Recombinant tuna FGF-2 protein 145 aa (bFGF/basic FGF) for the development of optimized serum-free culture media for species-specific yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in cellular agriculture protocols and veterinary research applications. This shorter form of FGF-2 is used in comparative cell culture media optimisation studies alongside Qk105, the 154 aa form of tuna 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 tuna cell culture. Receptor binding affinity and efficacy may differ depending on each species. Using a species-specific growth factor enhances receptor binding affinity, resulting in a lower concentration required in culture.

Tuna FGF-2 is a high purity 16.2 kDa FGF-2 / bFGF protein, animal origin-free (AOF) and carrier-protein free (CF).
