Background | Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an important mitogen and neurotrophic factor that binds and signals through the high-affinity receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). However, only a limited amount of information is available concerning the molecular forms and anatomical distribution of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) in the normal human brain. |
Synonyms/Alias | Basic fibroblast growth factor |
M.W/Mr. | 17200 |
Functions | Basic fibroblast growth factor presents in basement membranes and the subendothelial extracellular matrix of blood vessels. It stays membrane-bound as long as there is no signal peptide, and can be used in wound healing as a cosmeceutical. |
