Function
- role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, & cell differentiation
- required for normal limb & cardiac valve development during embryogenesis
- interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 & FGFR4
- affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) & their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors
Structure
- belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family
Compartment
Genetics
- product of hst1 (human) or ks3 (mouse) proto-oncogene
