...The FGFs affect target cells via the activation of cell-surface tyrosine kinase receptors that are encoded by 4 genes in mammals (designated fgf1/2/3/4).(16,17) Evidence has shown that FGFs play important roles in the regulation of pluripotency and lineage segregation in both the early mouse embryo and pluripotent mammalian stem cells....

...Besides, some researchers observed that the expression of FGF4 polypeptide as well as mRNA was limited to the ICM cells in the blastocyst.(17,20) One of central interest is FGF2, which is produced by luminal and glandular epithelium and is detectable in the uterine lumen throughout early pregnancy in animals....

...…as unusual as one could assume, and has been observed in for example muscle cells (Miyamoto et al., 1998), embryonic stem cells (Dvorak et al., 2005) and many cancers (Powers et al., 2000), and we therefore find it likely that autocrine signaling is also taking place in the pPdx1-Fgf10FLAG model....

...One way these recruited target proteins may be localized to the activated receptor is through the interaction between their Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains and specific phosphotyrosine residues on the activated receptor (Pawson 1995)....

...Phosphorylated tyrosine residues, in turn, recruit other signaling molecules to the activated receptors and propagate the signal through many possible transduction pathways (Pawson 1995)....

...Mutation of all four cysteines to serines results in a protein with the same secondary structure and equally mitogenic for 3T3 cells as the wild-type FGF-2 (Foxet al. 1988), suggesting that the formation of disulfide bridges is not important for the secondary structure and mitogenic activity of…...

...Ornitz et al. (1996) determined the specificity of different FGFs for different receptor isoforms by overexpressing these isoforms in Baf3 cells, which do not normally express FGFRs, and assaying for [3H]thymidine incorporation in these cells following treatment with different FGFs (see Table 2)....
