  2. Fibroblast growth factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast_growth_factor

    Members FGF1 through FGF10 all bind fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). FGF1 is also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor, and FGF2 is also known as basic fibroblast growth factor. Members FGF11, FGF12, FGF13, and FGF14, also known as FGF homologous factors 1-4 (FHF1-FHF4), have been shown to have distinct functions compared to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast_growth_factor_2

    Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), also known as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and FGF-β, is a growth factor and signaling protein encoded by the FGF2 gene. [5] [6] It binds to and exerts effects via specific fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) proteins, themselves a family of closely related molecules.

  4. Fibroblast growth factor 23 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast_growth_factor_23

    Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a protein and member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which participates in the regulation of phosphate in plasma and vitamin D metabolism. In humans it is encoded by the FGF23 gene .

  5. Fibroblast growth factor 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast_growth_factor_1

    Fibroblast growth factor protein was first purified in 1975, but soon afterwards others using different conditions isolated acidic FGF, Heparin-binding growth factor-1, and Endothelial cell growth factor-1. [7] Gene sequencing revealed that this group was actually the same growth factor and that FGF1 was a member of a family of FGF proteins.

  6. Fibroblast growth factor 21 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast_growth_factor_21

    Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is a protein that in mammals is encoded by the FGF21 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family and specifically a member of the endocrine subfamily which includes FGF23 and FGF15/19.

  7. FGF5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGF5

    Fibroblast growth factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF5 gene.. The majority of FGF family members are glycosaminoglycan binding proteins which possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion.

  8. FGF4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGF4

    The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This gene was identified ...
