High impact information on FGF3

Expression of the cysteine-rich fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor (CFR) in COS-1 cells strongly inhibits the secretion of co-expressed FGF3 [1].
Two members of the fibroblast growth factor family, FGF3 and FGF19, continue to be expressed in this mesodermal population in VAD embryos, and these may be responsible for otic placode induction in the absence of the posterior hindbrain [2].
Furthermore, octreotide significantly inhibited chick chorioallantoic membrane neovascularization by the human MCF-10Aint-2 mammary cells secreting the angiogenic protein FGF-3 [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of FGF3

By using a column retention assay and affinity chromatography, we demonstrate that at physiological salt concentrations FGF3 binds with strong affinity to CFR in vivo and in vitro [1].
