Fibroblast growth factors
What are they? Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of small (20–30 kDa) intercellular signalling proteins which are frequently found to be glycosylated. The first draft of the human genome identified 29 potential FGF genes, and so far transcripts have been identified for 23 of them. Two FGFs have been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans (Let-756 and Egl-17) while Drosophila appears o...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factors Stimulate Hair Growth through β-Catenin and Shh Expression in C57BL/6 Mice
Growth factors are involved in the regulation of hair morphogenesis and cycle hair growth. The present study sought to investigate the hair growth promoting activities of three approved growth factor drugs, fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF-10), acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1), and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), and the mechanism of action. We observed that FGFs promoted hair gr...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factors in schizophrenia.
A large association study by O'Donovan et al recently suggested that genetic variation in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 increases the risk for developing schizophrenia. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are part of the family of glial growth factors; they control the growth and patterning of specific brain structures and regulate the maintenance and repair of neuronal tissues. In ad...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor Signaling in Metabolic Regulation
The prevalence of obesity is a growing health problem. Obesity is strongly associated with several comorbidities, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, certain cancers, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, which all reduce life expectancy and life quality. Several drugs have been put forward in order to treat these diseases, but many of them have detrimental side effects. The unexpecte...
متن کاملFactors controlling fibroblast growth factor receptor-1's cytoplasmic trafficking and its regulation as revealed by FRAP analysis.
Biochemical and microscopic studies have indicated that FGFR1 is a transmembrane and soluble protein present in the cytosol and nucleus. How FGFR1 enters the cytosol and subsequently the nucleus to control cell development and associated gene activities has become a compelling question. Analyses of protein synthesis, cytoplasmic subcompartmental distribution and movement of FGFR1-EGFP and FGFR1...
