Other Information

**Key Characteristics** FGF4 exhibits several key characteristics that are essential for its function: 1. **Heparin-binding**: FGF4 binds to heparin, which is a negatively charged polysaccharide, to activate its receptor and initiate signaling. 2. **Receptor binding**: FGF4 binds to its receptor, FGF4 receptor (FGFR4), which is a tyrosine kinase receptor. 3. **Tyrosine kinase activity**: Upon binding to FGF4, FGFR4 undergoes autophosphorylation, which activates its tyrosine kinase activity. 4. **Signaling pathways**: FGF4 activates several signaling pathways, including the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and RAF/MAPK cascades, which regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. **Pathways and Functions** FGF4 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including: 1. **Cell proliferation**: FGF4 promotes cell proliferation in various cell types, including T cells, plasma cells, and connective tissue cells. 2. **Differentiation**: FGF4 regulates cell differentiation, particularly in the development of the neural plate border and the specification of the neural plate border. 3. **Survival**: FGF4 promotes cell survival by activating anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. 4. **Angiogenesis**: FGF4 is involved in angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation. 5. **Wound healing**: FGF4 plays a role in wound healing by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of FGF4 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: FGF4 is overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. 2. **Neurological disorders**: FGF4 is involved in the development of neurological disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. 3. **Diabetes**: FGF4 is implicated in the development of diabetes, particularly in the regulation of insulin signaling. 4. **Wound healing disorders**: FGF4 is involved in wound healing disorders, such as delayed wound healing and chronic wounds. In conclusion, FGF4 is a multifunctional growth factor that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Dysregulation of FGF4 has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this growth factor in human health and disease.
