FGF2
Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), also known as basic FGF (bFGF), is a pleiotropic signaling protein belonging to the FGF family. It plays crucial roles in embryogenesis, tissue repair, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and differentiation. FGF2 mediates its effects by binding to and activating FGF receptors (FGFRs), influencing various cellular processes including wound healing, neurogenesis, and tumor growth. Dysregulation of FGF2 signaling is implicated in numerous diseases, making it a significant target for therapeutic intervention.
