Fibroblast growth factor-9, also called FGF-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. In addition to FGF R3 (IIIb), FGF-9 binding to the IIIc […]

Fgf-8 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family that was initially identified as an androgen-inducible growth factor in a mammary carcinoma cell line. Fgf-8 is one of the key signaling molecules implicated in the initiation, outgrowth, and patterning of vertebrate limbs. The cloned 1.26-kb cDNA contained an open reading frame encoding 212 […]

Human FGF-9 protein, also known as fibroblast growth factor 9, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It functions as a signaling molecule, regulating various cellular processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. FGF-9 protein plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes, making it an important focus of research […]

The fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF-4) gene was identified as HST-1 gene from human stomach cancers and Kaposi’s sarcoma by a NIH3T3 transforming assay. FGF-4 has pleiotropic roles in many cell types and tissues, it is a mitogenic, angiogenic and survival factor, which is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation and in a variety of development […]

Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7), also known as keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. It plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Growth factor necessary for normal meristem morphogenesis and active in keratin-forming cells. May be a major paracrine […]

FGF basic is a member of the FGF family, currently comprised of seven related mitogenic proteins which show 35 – 55% amino acid conservation. FGF basic has been isolated from a number of sources, including neural tissue, pituitary, adrenal cortex, corpus luteum and placenta. This factor contains four cysteine residues but reduced FGF basic retains […]

FGF basic, also known as FGF-2 and HBGF-2, is a member of the FGF superfamily of mitogenic proteins which show 35-60% amino acid conservation. Human FGF acidic shares 54% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with FGF basic and 17%-_x001F_33% with other human FGFs. It shares 92%, 96%, 96%, and 96% aa sequence identity with bovine, […]

FGF-acidic is one of 23 known members of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-acidic is a non-glycosylated heparin binding growth factor that is expressed in the brain, kidney, retina, smooth muscle […]
