...The members of the Fgf11 subfamily (Fgf11–Fgf14) were excluded from this analysis because they are not secreted and do not activate Fgf receptors, but instead are localised to the cell nucleus and have intracellular function (Powers et al. 2000; Zhang et al. 2006; Mason, 2007)....

...Fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signalling has been shown to play essential roles in regulating many biological processes including mitogenic, chemotactic and angiogenic activity and wound healing (Powers et al. 2000; Nie et al. 2006; Mason, 2007)....

...However, as FGFs are secreted into the extracellular environment, where they typically bind to heparan sulphate proteoglycans, the ECM essentially becomes a local reservoir for FGF signaling [71]....

...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)....
