  • Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) used for skin care
    Publication number: 20060217310
    Abstract: Provided are compositions comprising a fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) for skin care, and methods of use of such compositions. The FGF-1 is constructed into a recombinant expression vector, and characterized by the molecular characteristics. The FGF-1 can modulate mitogenic activities and mediate both the FGF-2 and KGF signaling pathway that can promote proliferation of fibroblast cells and epidermal cells. A mutant FGF-1 has the longer half life than wild type has in virtue of its capabilities of anti-oxidization or no further proteolytic degradation.
