What Does HBGF Stand For?

HBGF stands for Heparin Binding Growth Factor

Heparin Binding Growth Factor (HBGF) refers to a group of proteins involved in various biological processes, primarily associated with cell growth, proliferation, and tissue repair. This factor binds to heparin, a sulfated glycosaminoglycan, enhancing its stability and bioactivity. HBGF plays a crucial role in angiogenesis, wound healing, and inflammation, making it significant in both physiological and pathological conditions. Its therapeutic potential is being explored in regenerative medicine and cancer treatment.
