Receptors for fibroblast growth factors

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1995
SummaryThe recent discovery of the involvement of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) in the activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) has led to an intensification of study of this field. It appears that the HSPG act as low affinity receptors to which the fibroblast growth factors (FGF) must bind in order to successfully activate the ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play an important role in embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, cell proliferation and differentiation. The fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) isoforms have been under intense scrutiny for effective anticancer drug candidates.

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 ...

Promiscuity of fibroblast growth factor receptors

BioEssays, 1996
AbstractFibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) have been implicated in many developmental and regenerative events, including axial organisation, mesodermal patterning, keratinocyte organisation and brain development. The consensus view that this reflects a role for one or other of the nine known members of the fibroblast growth factor family in ...

Diverse receptors for fibroblast growth factors

Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1992
The development and maintenance of multicellular organisms requires a complex interplay between cells in different tissues. Many of the factors mediating cell-cell communication are polypeptides, which were originally identified because of their ability to stimulate cell growth.

Fibroblast growth factors and their receptors

Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1997
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) represent a group of polypeptide mitogens eliciting a wide variety of responses depending upon the target cell type. The knowledge of the cell surface receptors mediating the effects of FGFs has recently expanded remarkably.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors

1997
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) was discovered in the 1970s as an activity that stimulates the proliferation of 3T3 cells (1). Currently, FGFs comprise a family of nine structurally related proteins (FGF-1 to -9) (reviewed in 2–6). FGFs are expressed in specific spatial and temporal patterns and are involved in developmental processes, angiogenesis ...
