FGF acidic active protein
Human FGF acidic
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in organogenesis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
Uniprot Description
Function: Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as potent mitogen in vitro. Ref.20 Ref.23 Ref.40
Subunit structure: Monomer. Homodimer. Interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors. Found in a complex with FGFBP1, FGF1 and FGF2. Interacts with FGFBP1. Part of a Cu2+-dependent multiprotein aggregate containing FGF1, S100A13 and SYT1. Interacts with SYT1
By similarity. Interacts with S100A13. Interacts with LRRC59. Interacts with CSNKA, CSNKB and FIBP. While binding with LRRC59, CSNKA and FIBP seem mutually exclusive, CSNKB and FIBP may cooperatively interact with FGF1. Ref.19 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.40
Subcellular location: Secreted. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm › cell cortex. Cytoplasm › cytosol. Nucleus. Note: Lacks a cleavable signal sequence. Within the cytoplasm, it is transported to the cell membrane and then secreted by a non-classical pathway that requires Cu2+ ions and S100A13. Secreted in a complex with SYT1
By similarity. Binding of exogenous FGF1 to FGFR facilitates endocytosis followed by translocation of FGF1 across endosomal membrane into the cytosol. Nuclear import from the cytosol requires the classical nuclear import machinery, involving proteins KPNA1 and KPNB1, as well as LRRC59. Ref.21 Ref.22 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.28
Tissue specificity: Predominantly expressed in kidney and brain. Detected at much lower levels in heart and skeletal muscle. Ref.7 Ref.22
Post-translational modification: In the nucleus, phosphorylated by PKC/PRKCD. Ref.28
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
