Rabbit Anti-Phospho-FLG (Tyr766)/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) produce mitogenic and angiogenic effects in target cells by signaling through the cellular surface tyrosine kinase receptors. There are four members of the FGF receptor family: FGFR-1 (flg), FGFR-2 (bek, KGFR), FGFR-3 and FGFR-4. Each receptor contains an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic kinase domain (1). Following ligand binding and dimerization, the receptors are phosphorylated at specific tyrosine residues (2). Seven tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of FGFR-1 can be phosphorylated: Tyr463, Tyr583, Tyr585, Tyr653, Tyr654, Tyr730 and Tyr766. Tyrosine 653 and 654 are important for catalytic activity of the activated FGFR and are essential for signaling (3). The other phosphorylated tyrosine residues may provide docking sites for downstream signaling components such as Crk and PLCgamma.
Function:
Receptor for fibroblast growth factors FGF2 and FGF1. Receptor for FGF23 in the presence of KL (By similarity). Promotes mitogenesis in response to fibroblast growth factors. Activates PLCG1.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Interacts with KLB. Interacts with KL and FGF23. Interacts with SHB and GRB10. Interacts with PLCG1 (via SH2 domains). Interacts with KAL1; this interaction does not interfere with FGF2-binding to FGFR1, but prevents binding of heparin-bound FGF2. Interacts with SOX2 and SOX3.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected in astrocytoma, neuroblastoma and adrenal cortex cell lines. Some isoforms are detected in foreskin fibroblast cell lines, however isoform 17, isoform 18 and isoform 19 are not detected in these cells.
Post-translational modifications:
Binding of FGF1 and heparin promotes autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues and activation of the receptor.
DISEASE:
Defects in FGFR1 are a cause of Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) [MIM:101600]; also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type V (ACS5). PS is characterized by craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the skull sutures) with deviation and enlargement of the thumbs and great toes, brachymesophalangy, with phalangeal ankylosis and a varying degree of soft tissue syndactyly.
Defects in FGFR1 are a cause of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) [MIM:146110]. IHH is defined as a deficiency of the pituitary secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, which results in the impairment of pubertal maturation and of reproductive function.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Fibroblast growth factor receptor subfamily.
Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
