Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2, Recombinant, Human (FGFR2)

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are members of a large family of structurally related polypeptides that are potent physiological regulators of growth and differentiation for a wide variety of cells of mesodermal, ectodermal and endodermal origin. Four genes encoding for high affinity cell surface FGF receptors (FGFRs) have been identified: FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. FGFRs are members of the tyrosine kinase family of growth factor receptors. FGFR2 is highly expressed in developing human tissues including the brain, choroids plexus, lung etc. Source: Recombinant human FGFR2, aa399-end, with N-terminal GST tag, expressed in baculovirus infected Sf9 insect cells.
