Receptors for fibroblast growth factors
Immunology & Cell Biology, 1995SummaryThe 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, 2012Fibroblast 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, 2006Maintenance 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 ...

Diverse receptors for fibroblast growth factors
Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1992The 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.

Promiscuity of fibroblast growth factor receptors
BioEssays, 1996AbstractFibroblast 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 ...

Fibroblast growth factors and their receptors in cancer
Biochemical Journal, 2011FGFs (fibroblast growth factors) and their receptors (FGFRs) play essential roles in tightly regulating cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation during development and adult life. Deregulation of FGFR signalling, on the other hand, has been associated with many developmental syndromes, and with human cancer.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Prototype Release and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999A 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 ...

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2007
AbstractA series of peptides, termed dekafins, were derived from the β10–β11 loop regions of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 17. The dekafins share a homologous amino acid sequence similar to a sequence in the first fibronectin type III module of the neural cell adhesion molecule. All dekafins were shown by surface plasmon

Basic fibroblast growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors in adult olfactory epithelium
Brain Research, 2001Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) stimulates proliferation of the globose basal cells, the neuronal precursor in the olfactory epithelium. The present study investigates the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors in the adult olfactory epithelium.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors
1997Fibroblast 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 ...
