Rabbit Anti-FGF3/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
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 by its similarity with mouse fgf3/int-2, a proto-oncogene activated in virally induced mammary tumors in the mouse. Frequent amplification of this gene has been found in human tumors, which may be important for neoplastic transformation and tumor progression. Studies of the similar genes in mouse and chicken suggested the role in inner ear formation.
Function:
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) can stimulate the proliferation of mesenchymal, epithelial and neuroectodermal cells. FGF3 belongs to the heparin binding growth factors family. Members of the family include Acidic FGF (also known as aFGF or FGF 1), basic FGF (bFGF or FGF 2), FGF 3 (also known as Int2) and FGF 4 (also known as hst or Kaposi FGF). FGF 4 was first revealed to be an oncoprotein in Kaposi's sarcoma cells. Other family members include FGF 5, FGF 6, FGF 7 (keratinocyte growth factor, KGF), FGF 8 (AIGF), FGF 9 (GAF) and FGF 10. FGF3 is activated by proviral insertion of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). FGF3 is responsible for most of breast malignancies.
Subunit:
Interacts with FGFR1 and FGFR2. Affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Post-translational modifications:
Glycosylated.
Similarity:
Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
