Abstract excerpt
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF-2) exerts its pleiotropic activities both as an exogenous and an intracellular factor. FGF-1 and FGF-2 are prototypes for this dual signalling, but the mechanisms of their intracellular actions remain unknown. Here we show that Translokin, a cytoplasmic protein of relative molecular mass 55,000 (M(r) 55K), interacts specifically with the 18K form of FGF-2. Translokin is...
