Human Recombinant FGF-5, STEMCELL Technologies (CAT#: STEM-CT-0854-ZJF)

Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF-5) is a secreted, heparin-binding member of the FGF subfamily. FGFs possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are expressed during embryonic development. FGF-5 is expressed in the mesenchyme, skeletal muscles, central nervous systems, and hair follicles. FGF-5 promotes cell differentiation and proliferation by binding FGF receptor 1 and FGF receptor 2 (FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively). FGF-5 plays an important regulatory role in skeletal muscle development. FGF-5 has also been identified in neurons of the limbic system, especially those of the olfactory bulb and pyramidal cells of the hippocampus (Haub & Goldfarb).
