描述:
Fibroblast growth factor binding protein (FGF-BP), also known as HBp17, is a secreted
glycoprotein that increases the bioavailability of FGFs. Mature FGFBP is a 34 kDa, 211
amino acid (aa) O-glycosylated protein with five conserved intrachain disulfide bonds.
FGF-BP contains a heparinbinding domain (aa 110-143) and a distinct FGFbinding region
(aa 193-243). Mature human FGF-BP shares 59% and 54% aa sequence identity with mouse
and rat FGF-BP, respectively. FGF-BP is expressed throughout development and in adult
squamous epithelium. It is upregulated in injured skin, renal tubular epithelium, and spinal
nerves as well as in carcinomas of the skin, colon, and pancreas. FGF-BP binds FGF-1, -2, -7,
-10, and -22 which are secreted and sequestered in the extracellular matrix (ECM) .The
association of FGF-BP with heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) weakens HSPG attachment
of FGFs and promotes their release. FGF-BP enhances the mitogenic effects of FGFs, thereby
contributing to epithelial, endothelial, and neuronal tissue repair, angiogenesis, and tumor
growth.
