FGF-basic stands as one of the 23 recognized members within the FGF family. These proteins hold pivotal roles in prenatal development, postnatal growth, and tissue regeneration by fostering cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-basic, specifically, serves as a non-glycosylated growth factor with a penchant for heparin binding. Its expression spans across various tissues including the brain, pituitary, kidney, retina, bone, testis, adrenal gland, liver, monocytes, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. FGF-basic transmits signals through FGFR 1b, 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4 receptors. The recombinant form of Human FGF-basic, comprised of 146 amino acid residues, yields a 16.4 kDa protein.
