Abstract excerpt
Integrins play a role in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling through cross-talk with FGF receptors (FGFRs), but the mechanism underlying the cross-talk is unknown. We discovered that FGF1 directly bound to soluble and cell-surface integrin alphavbeta3 (K(D) about 1 microm). Antagonists to alphavbeta3 (monoclonal antibody 7E3 and cyclic RGDfV) blocked this interaction. alphavbeta3 was the predominant, if not...
