Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFBP1 gene. [5] [6] [7]
FGFBP1, or HBP17, binds to both acidic FGF1 and basic FGF2 fibroblast growth factors in a reversible manner. It also binds to perlecan (HSPG2).[supplied by OMIM] [7]
FGFBP1 has been shown to interaction with Perlecan. [5]
Fibroblast growth factor 1, (FGF-1) also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), is a growth factor and signaling protein encoded by the FGF1 gene. It is synthesized as a 155 amino acid polypeptide, whose mature form is a non-glycosylated 17-18 kDa protein. 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. Gene sequencing revealed that this group was actually the same growth factor and that FGF1 was a member of a family of FGF proteins.
INT-2 proto-oncogene protein also known as FGF-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF3 gene.
Perlecan (PLC) also known as basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein (HSPG) or heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPG2 gene. The HSPG2 gene codes for a 4,391 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 468,829. It is one of the largest known proteins. The name perlecan comes from its appearance as a "string of pearls" in rotary shadowed images.
Pleiotrophin (PTN) also known as heparin-binding brain mitogen (HBBM) or heparin-binding growth factor 8 (HBGF-8) or neurite growth-promoting factor 1 (NEGF1) or heparin affinity regulatory peptide (HARP) or heparin binding growth associated molecule (HB-GAM) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTN gene. Pleiotrophin is an 18-kDa growth factor that has a high affinity for heparin. It is structurally related to midkine and retinoic acid induced heparin-binding protein.
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a member of the EGF family of proteins that in humans is encoded by the HBEGF gene.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR4 gene. FGFR4 has also been designated as CD334.
Syndecan-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDC4 gene. Syndecan-4 is one of the four vertebrate syndecans and has a molecular weight of ~20 kDa. Syndecans are the best-characterized plasma membrane proteoglycans. Their intracellular domain of membrane-spanning core protein interacts with actin cytoskeleton and signaling molecules in the cell cortex. Syndecans are normally found on the cell surface of fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Syndecans interact with fibronectin on the cell surface, cytoskeletal and signaling proteins inside the cell to modulate the function of integrin in cell-matrix adhesion. Also, syndecans bind to FGFs and bring them to the FGF receptor on the same cell. As a co-receptor or regulator, mutated certain proteoglycans could cause severe developmental defects, like disordered distribution or inactivation of signaling molecules.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FRS2 gene.
Laminin subunit alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LAMA1 gene.
Syndecan-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDC3 gene.
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP7 gene. The major function of the protein is the regulation of availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in tissue as well as in modulating IGF binding to its receptors. IGFBP7 binds to IGF with low affinity compared to IGFBPs 1-6. It also stimulates cell adhesion. The protein is implicated in some cancers.
Fibulin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FBLN2 gene.
Growth factor receptor-bound protein 14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRB14 gene.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FRS3 gene.
Golgi apparatus protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLG1 gene.
Fibroblast growth factor 13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF13 gene.
Fibroblast growth factor 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF6 gene.
Fibroblast growth factor 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF12 gene.
Nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X motif 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUDT6 gene.
Acidic fibroblast growth factor intracellular-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FIBP gene.
