Other Information

**Key Characteristics** FGF8 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, characterized by its ability to bind to specific receptors and initiate signaling cascades. It is primarily expressed in embryonic tissues, including the neural plate, heart, and blood vessels. FGF8 has been shown to be involved in various developmental processes, including gastrulation, organ induction, and cell migration. Its expression is also observed in adult tissues, such as the kidney and brain, where it plays a role in maintaining tissue homeostasis. **Pathways and Functions** FGF8 signaling is mediated through the binding of FGF8 to its specific receptors, FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR4. This interaction triggers a series of downstream signaling events, including the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, MAPK/ERK pathway, and the phospholipase C-mediated cascade. FGF8 has been shown to regulate various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It also plays a role in angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, and in the development of the nervous system. FGF8 has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer, where it is often upregulated and contributes to tumor growth and metastasis. Additionally, FGF8 has been shown to play a role in cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and heart failure. **Clinical Significance** FGF8 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: FGF8 is often upregulated in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer, where it contributes to tumor growth and metastasis. 2. **Cardiovascular diseases**: FGF8 has been shown to play a role in the development of atherosclerosis and heart failure. 3. **Neurological disorders**: FGF8 has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. 4. **Kidney disease**: FGF8 has been shown to play a role in kidney development and disease, including polycystic kidney disease. In conclusion, FGF8 is a multifunctional protein involved in various biological processes, including embryonic development, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of FGF8 in human disease and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target. **References** * [1] FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8) - Human - RefSeq Gene * [2] FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8) - Human - UniProt * [3] FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8) - Human - GeneCards * [4] FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8) - Human - PubMed Note: The references provided are for general information purposes only and are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all relevant literature on FGF8.
