Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (FGF-18) is a 20 kDa protein that plays an important role in skeletal development and bone homeostasis. Mature mouse FGF-18 shares 99% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat FGF-18. It is expressed in embryonic somites and the neural fold, adult lung, cerebellar and hippocampal neurons, hair follicle root sheath […]

FGF-17 is a member of the FGF superfamily of heparin-binding mitogenic molecules characterized by the presence of a core, 120 amino acid (aa) beta-trefoil structure. The mRNA of FGF-17 was found in midgestation of embryo and multiple adult tissues, and is preferentially expressed in specific sites, such as embryonic brain, developing skeleton and arteries.

Fibroblast growth factor 16 (FGF-16) belongs to the large FGF family. All FGF family members are heparin-binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGF-16 was originally identified in rat heart tissue by homology based polymerase chain reaction. Murine FGF-16 cDNA predicts a 207 […]

Fibroblast growth factor-16 (FGF16) is a member of FGF9 subfamily. All FGF family members are heparin-binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (aa) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. FGF-16 is most similar to FGF-9, sharing 73% aa sequence homology. Human FGF-16 shares 99% and 98.6% aa sequence identity with […]

Fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13), a member of the FGF11 subfamily, is a kind of intracrine protein similar to other family members including FGF11, FGF12, and FGF14. Unlike classical FGF, FGF13 exerts its bioactivities independent of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). FGF13, a nonsecretory protein of the FGF family, is expressed in cerebral cortical neurons […]

Mature human FGF-10 is an approximately 20 kDa protein that contains a serine-rich region near its N-terminus (2, 3). It shares 93% and 96% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat FGF-10, respectively. Mature human FGF-10 is an approximately 20 kDa protein that contains a serine-rich region near its N-terminus (2, 3). It shares […]

Fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12) is a fibroblast growth factor homologous factor, a subset of the FGF superfamily. Human FGF-12 is synthesized as a 243 aa protein. In human Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), FGF12 expression was inhibited at the transcriptional level by platelet-derived growth factor-BB. FGF12 inhibited cell proliferation through the p53 pathway and […]

Mature human FGF-10 is an approximately 20 kDa protein that contains a serine-rich region near its N-terminus (2, 3). It shares 93% and 96% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat FGF-10, respectively. Mature human FGF-10 is an approximately 20 kDa protein that contains a serine-rich region near its N-terminus (2, 3). It shares […]

Fibroblast growth factor-9, is an approximately 26 kDa secreted glycoprotein of the FGF family. Secreted human FGF-9 is a 205-207 aa protein that lacks the N-terminal 1-3 aa and shares 98% sequence identity with mouse, rat, equine, porcine and bovine FGF-9. FGF-9 is an autocrine/paracrine growth factor considered to be important for the growth and […]

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF-10) is a heparin-binding growth factor that belongs to the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role in prenatal development, postnatal growth, and regeneration of various tissues by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation.FGF-10 is most closely related to KGF/FGF-7, and is expressed during development, preferentially in the adult […]
