FGF-17 is a heparin-binding growth factor that is a member of the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-17 signals through the FGFR 1c, 2c, 3c, and 4. FGF-17 promotes the induction and patterning of brain development during embryogenesis. Recombinant Human FGF-17 is a 22.7 kDa protein consisting of 195 amino acid residues.
