ATP-binding on fibroblast growth factor 2 partially overlaps with the heparin-binding domain.

Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), an intensively studied heparin-binding cytokine, is an important modulator of cell growth and differentiation under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. It has been shown recently that ATP binds to FGF2 and that this binding is crucial for its biological function. In this study we demonstrated that divalent cations were not necessary for binding of ATP to FGF2,...
