Product overview
Mouse/Rat FGF1 ELISA Kit (ab223587) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of FGF1 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, serum, tissue lysate, urine, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse/Rat FGF1 with NULL NULL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
FGF1, also known as Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 or FGF acidic, is an important activator for several signaling cascades with roles in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. It functions as potent mitogen in vitro. In the presence of heparin, FGF1 binds in a 1:2 stoichiometry with FGF1 receptor protein, causing the autophosphorylation and activation of the receptor. This complex then binds to integrin and recruits PTPN11 to begin FGF1 signaling. Because of its possible role in organ development and in tumor growth, FGF1 is an important subject of study for the treatment of diabetes and the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Mouse and rat FGF1 are identical on an amino acid level.

Function
The heparin-binding fibroblast growth factors play important roles in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. They are potent mitogens in vitro. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm > cell cortex. Lacks a cleavable signal sequence. Within the cytoplasm, it is transported to the cell membrane and then secreted by a non-classical pathway that requires Cu(2+) ions and S100A13. Secreted in a complex with SYT1. - Information by UniProt

The concentrations of FGF1 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the FGF1 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 50%, plasma (citrate) 25% and plasma (EDTA) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Interpolated concentrations of native mouse/rat FGF1 in mouse and rat brain tissue extract based on a 31 or 63 μg/mL extract load, respectively. The concentrations of FGF1 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the FGF standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean FGF1 concentration was determined to be 697 pg/mL in mouse brain tissue extract and 796 pg/mL in rat brain tissue extract.
