abstract：:Heparin potentiates the mitogenic activity of FGF-1 by increasing the affinity for its receptor and by extending its biological half-life. During the course of labeling human FGF-1 with Na(125)I and chloramine T, it was observed that the protein lost its ability to bind to heparin. In contrast, bovine FGF-1 retained i...
