Descriptions

The mammalian fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 family contains at least 22 distinct polypeptides (FGF1–FGF22) that are expressed in a specific spatial and temporal pattern. FGF9 was originally described as a glia-activating factor and is expressed in the nervous system as a potent mitogen for glia cells. FGF9 adopts a beta-trefoil fold similar to other FGFs, but the N- and C-terminal regions outside the beta-trefoil core are ordered (typical FGFs have disordered tails) and involved in reversible dimerization. Due to the dimerization, a significant surface area is buried in the dimer interface that occludes a major receptor binding site of FGF9 within the beta-trefoil core. Sequence alignment of FGFs shows that most of the residues that participate in this interface in FGF9 are conserved in FGF16, suggesting that FGF16 may also dimerize for autoinhibition.

Functions

Description
EC Number
Subcellular Localization
  • Secreted
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cytoplasm, cell cortex
  • Cytoplasm, cytosol
  • Nucleus
  • Lacks a cleavable signal sequence
  • Within the cytoplasm, it is transported to the cell membrane and then secreted by a non-classical pathway that requires Cu(2+) ions and S100A13 (By similarity)
  • Binding of exogenous FGF1 to FGFR facilitates endocytosis followed by translocation of FGF1 across endosomal membrane into the cytosol
  • Nuclear import from the cytosol requires the classical nuclear import machinery (By similarity)

6 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cell cortex The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
extracellular region The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite.
extracellular space That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
fibroblast growth factor receptor binding Binding to a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR).
growth factor activity The function that stimulates a cell to grow or proliferate. Most growth factors have other actions besides the induction of cell growth or proliferation.
heparin binding Binding to heparin, a member of a group of glycosaminoglycans found mainly as an intracellular component of mast cells and which consist predominantly of alternating alpha-(1->4)-linked D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate residues.
integrin binding Binding to an integrin.
S100 protein binding Binding to a S100 protein. S100 is a small calcium and zinc binding protein produced in astrocytes that is implicated in Alzheimer's disease, Down Syndrome and ALS.

19 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
angiogenesis Blood vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing blood vessels.
animal organ morphogenesis Morphogenesis of an animal organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions.
branch elongation involved in ureteric bud branching The growth of a branch of the ureteric bud along its axis.
cell differentiation The cellular developmental process in which a relatively unspecialized cell, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cell, acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize a specific cell. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a fibroblast growth factor receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands.
hemopoiesis The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the myeloid and lymphoid derived organ/tissue systems of the blood and other parts of the body over time, from formation to the mature structure. The site of hemopoiesis is variable during development, but occurs primarily in bone marrow or kidney in many adult vertebrates.
lung development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lung over time, from its formation to the mature structure. In all air-breathing vertebrates the lungs are developed from the ventral wall of the oesophagus as a pouch which divides into two sacs. In amphibians and many reptiles the lungs retain very nearly this primitive sac-like character, but in the higher forms the connection with the esophagus becomes elongated into the windpipe and the inner walls of the sacs become more and more divided, until, in the mammals, the air spaces become minutely divided into tubes ending in small air cells, in the walls of which the blood circulates in a fine network of capillaries. In mammals the lungs are more or less divided into lobes, and each lung occupies a separate cavity in the thorax.
mesonephric epithelium development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an epithelium in the mesonephros over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An epithelium is a tissue that covers the internal or external surfaces of an anatomical structure.

positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of epithelial cell proliferation.
positive regulation of gene expression Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA).
positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of intracellular signal transduction.
positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
wound healing The series of events that restore integrity to a damaged tissue, following an injury.
