Anti-FGFBP1 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor carrier protein. The encoded protein plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and migration by binding to fibroblast growth factors and potentiating their biological effects on target cells. The encoded protein may also play a role in tumor growth as an angiogenic switch molecule, and expression of this gene has been associated with several types of cancer including pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 4.

FGFBP1; FGFBP; HBP17; Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1; FGF-BP; FGF-BP1; FGF-binding protein 1; FGFBP-1; 17 kDa heparin-binding growth factor-binding protein; 17 kDa HBGF-binding protein; HBp17

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human FGFBP1. Human FGFBP1 shares 69.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat FGFBP1.
