Fgfbp1 ELISA Kit (Rat) (OKBB01186)

Description of target: Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFBP1 gene. This gene encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor carrier protein. The encoded protein plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and migration by binding to fibroblast growth factors and potentiating their biological effects on target cells. The encoded protein may also play a role in tumor growth as an angiogenic switch molecule, and expression of this gene has been associated with several types of cancer including pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 5.;Species reactivity: Rat;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
