Despite the ubiquitous presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in normal tissues, endothelial cell proliferation in these tissues is usually very low, suggesting that bFGF is somehow sequestered from its site of action. lmmunohistochemical staining revealed the localization of bFGF in base
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) binds to heparin-like molecules present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of transformed fetal bovine aortic endothelial G M 7373 cells. Binding of bFGF to ECM can be competed by heparin or heparan sulfate, and ECM-bound bFGF can be released by treating the cell
