Rabbit Anti-FGF22/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
FGF22 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. The mouse homolog of this gene was found to be preferentially expressed in the inner root sheath of the hair follicle, which suggested a role in hair development.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-22 stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptor.
Function:
Plays a role in the fasting response, glucose homeostasis, lipolysis and lipogenesis. Can stimulate cell proliferation (in vitro). May be involved in hair development.
Subunit:
Interacts with FGFR1 and FGFR2. Interacts with FGFBP1.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted (Potential).
Similarity:
Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
