Immunoprecipitation of FGF5 transfected lysate using anti-FGF5 monoclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead (U0007), and immunoblotted with FGF5 MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody.
Proximity Ligation Analysis of protein-protein interactions between FGFR2 and FGF5 HeLa cells were stained with anti-FGFR2 rabbit purified polyclonal 1:1200 and anti-FGF5 mouse monoclonal antibody 1:50. Each red dot represents the detection of protein-protein interaction complex, and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This gene was identified as an oncogene, which confers transforming potential when transfected into mammalian cells. Targeted disruption of the homolog of this gene in mouse resulted in the phenotype of abnormally long hair, which suggested a function as an inhibitor of hair elongation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq
