High impact information on FGFR1IIIC

  • We show that the ectodomains of FGFR1 IIIc and FGFR2 IIIc exhibit specific interactions with different characteristics for both heparin and porcine mucosal HS [1].
  • We also proposed that heparin would exert a similar action to FGF, because this proteoglycan not only binds to the FGF receptor, but also facilitates the release of FGF from the cardiac extracellular matrix and promotes its binding to a high-affinity receptor [2].
  • The dual mechanism, i.e., stimulation of HIF-1alpha and FGF receptor expression, likely accounts for the functional benefits of PR39 [3].
  • In order to localize a rich source of basic FGF receptor, we examined the distribution of basic FGF binding sites in brain, stomach, lung, spleen, kidney, liver and intestine membrane preparations from adult guinea pig [4].
