Target Background | Fibroblast Growth Factor-17 (FGF-17) is a heparin binding growth factor that is a member of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play multiple roles in biological functions, including angiogenesis, mitogenesis, cell differentiation and wound repair. FGF-17 plays an important role in organizing and inducing specific patterning at the midbrain/hindbrain junction. FGF-17 is also expressed in the hindgut, parts of thedeveloping skeleton, tail bud, major arteries, and heart. FGF-17 signals through hFGFR1c, 2c, 3c, and 4. FGF-17 signals induce patterning of the embryonic brain. |
