Description

FGFR-1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) is a member of the basic fibroblast growth factor family of proteins and is thought to be important in the induction and propagation of benign prostatic hyperplasia. A shortage of FGFR-1 causes death post-implantation and has been linked to neurofascin and neurite outgrowth. FGFR-1 expression has recently been found to be increased in patients with renal cell carcinoma and FGFR-1 may also have a role to play in early limb formation.
