1 Binding of bFGF to ECM can be competed by heparin or heparan sulfate, and ECM-bound bFGF can be released by treating the cells with heparinase or heparatinase. Heparin fibroblast growth factor 2 Bos taurus
2 The increase is prevented upon removal of ECM-bound bFGF by a neutral 2 M NaCl wash. Soluble heparin and heparan sulfate reduce the amount of ECM-bound bFGF released into the medium, possibly competing with ECM polysaccharides for heparinase-like enzymes produced by endothelial cells, suggesting that these enzymes are involved in the mobilization of ECM-bound bFGF. Heparin fibroblast growth factor 2 Bos taurus
