Abstract excerpt
Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) contains a phosphorylation site recognized by protein kinase C. A non-mitogenic mutant growth factor is devoid of this phosphorylation site. We have changed amino acids in and close to the phosphorylation site and studied the consequences of this for binding of the growth factor to high affinity receptors as well as to heparin. We have also studied the ability of the mutants...
