Summary: | This invention is related to a novel polypeptide having mammalian growth factor activity and to methods for using it.
A homogeneous K-FGF polypeptide having a molecular weight of about 19,000 daltons when analyzed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, wherein the polypeptide is substantially free of oligosaccharide moieties attached to the polypeptide, appears as a single band on SDS-PAGE, exhibits a detectable level of mitogenic activity on growth arrested cells in a H-thymidine uptake assay, and is substantially free from other mammalian proteins, is provided. |
