En familj små polypeptidtillväxtfaktorer med flera gemensamma drag, inklusive en stark affinitet för heparin och en central, tunnformad kärna av 140 aminosyror med stor homologi mellan familjemedlemmarna. Den ursprungliga definitionen som fibroblasttillväxtstimulerande protein är inte längre nödvändig för hemmahörande i fibroblasttillväxtfaktorfamiljen.
A family of small polypeptide growth factors that share several common features including a strong affinity for HEPARIN, and a central barrel-shaped core region of 140 amino acids that is highly homologous between family members. Although originally studied as proteins that stimulate the growth of fibroblasts this distinction is no longer a requirement for membership in the fibroblast growth factor family.
