Recombinant, human acidic fibroblast growth factor expressed in E. coli. Stimulates the proliferation of primary cultures of myoblasts and osteoblastic cells. Prevents myocardial apoptosis triggered by ischemia reperfusion injury. Exhibits mitogenic activity in vitro for cells or meso- and neuroectodermal origin. Its activity is greatly potentiated by addition of heparin.
