Fibroblast growth factor 23

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2013
There is growing interest in the role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in various diseases of disordered mineral metabolism. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), where biochemical evidence of mineral disturbances is especially common, FGF23 measurement has been advocated as an early and sensitive marker for CKD-related bone disease. In this setting,

FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTORS

2006
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a large group of small polypeptide growth factors, some of which play key roles in pulmonary biology. Their molecular sizes vary from 17 to 34 kDa and they share a wide range of amino acid homology with highly conserved gene structures and amino acid sequences.

Fibroblast growth factors

The FASEB Journal, 1987
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are heparin‐binding protein mitogens that induce division of most cultured cells derived from embryonic mesoderm and neuroectoderm. Terminally differentiated neurons also respond in vitro by eliciting outgrowth of neurites. In vivo, FGFs have been shown to induce DNA synthesis, cell migration, blood

Fibroblast Growth Factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors, Diseases, and Drugs

Recent Patents on Cardiovascular Drug Discovery, 2006
Maintenance of endothelial cells (ECs), the building blocks of the vascular tree, is a presumed function of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). In particular, the two prototypic members of FGF family, namely FGF1 and FGF2, due to their potent mitogenic and pro-migratory activities, have the ability to induce metabolic and phenotypic changes in ECs that ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor Prototype Release and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999
A Brief Introduction to the Fibroblast Growth Factor Gene Family The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of genes presently comprise 18 members, including the two prototypes, FGF-1 (acidic) and FGF-2 (basic). Although the FGF prototypes are well described as mediators of a variety of diverse biological responses, such as mesoderm induction ...

The fibroblast growth factors

2003
We have reviewed data showing that FGFs are a family of related factors playing fundamental roles in several biologic processes involving tissue remodeling such as embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, nerve regeneration, and chronic inflammation and cancer.

Fibroblast growth factor 10

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is a major morphoregulatory factor that plays essential signaling roles during vertebrate multiorgan development and homeostasis. FGF10 is predominantly expressed in mesenchymal cells and signals though FGFR2b in adjacent epithelia to regulate branching morphogenesis, stem cell fate, tissue differentiation and ...

Fibroblast growth factor 22

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 22 (FGF22) is a member of the FGF7 subfamily that functions as a paracrine factor and was identified in the human placenta in 2001. The FGF22 gene is located on human chromosome 19p13.3, mouse chromosome 10, and zebrafish chromosome 22 and is closely linked to the BSG, HCN2, and POLRMT genes. The gene is composed of three exons,

Fibroblast growth factor 21

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) belongs to the FGF19 subfamily and acts systemically, playing a key role in inter-organ crosstalk. Ranging from metabolism, reproduction, and immunity, FGF21 is a pleiotropic hormone which contributes to various physiological processes.

Inhibition of fibroblast growth factors

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1996
The potential roles of members of the fibroblast growth factor family in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis and their mechanisms of release from cells are discussed. Furthermore, we review methods of therapeutic targeting of these polypeptides. In particular, we focus on the possibility to inhibit fibroblast growth factors with drugs that mimic heparin ...
