Abstract Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) constitute an elaborate signaling system that participates in many developmental and repair processes of virtually all mammalian tissues. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2), the prototypic member of a family of 23 proteins, was first purified as a heparin-binding polypeptide from bovine pituitary and subsequently characterized as a basic protein of 18 kDa. |
