Analysis of FGF-BP1 (Human) by MSD Hypersensitive Multi-Factor Electrochemiluminescence Analyzer (CAT#: STEM-MB-0179-LGZ)

Introduction

FGFBP1 encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor carrier protein. This encoded protein plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, binds fibroblast growth factors, and enhances their biological effects on target cells. The encoded protein may also act as an angiogenic molecule in tumor growth, and expression of this gene has been linked to several cancers, including pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinomas. A pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 4.
