High impact information on FGFR4

  • FGFR-4 was only observed when all follicle classes of an individual were expressing both FGF-8 and FGFR-3c [1].
  • Fgfr4 expression was restricted to theca cells in the follicle, and decreased significantly with increasing follicle size [2].
  • The expression of FGFR 1, 2 and 3 but not FGFR 4 was detected in bovine lens epithelial cells [3].
 

Anatomical context of FGFR4

  • FGF-8 and FGFR-3c were expressed in secondary follicles in 70% of fetuses examined, whereas FGFR-4 expression was significantly less frequent (20%) [1].
  • RT-PCR was used to analyze bovine Fgf8, Fgfr3c and Fgfr4 mRNA levels in oocytes, and granulosa and theca cells [2].
 

Other interactions of FGFR4

  • In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that FGF-8 and its cognate receptors (FGFR3c and FGFR4) are expressed in bovine antral follicles [2].
