Abstract excerpt
FGFR3 has been establishing its position in growth plate cartilage after the identification as a responsible gene for achondroplasia. The major pathway of the pathogenesis in achondroplasia is the suppression of PTHrP-PTHR system, which is mainly mediated by ERK activation induced by constitutive active FGFR3. However, intracellular signaling system in FGFR3 is complex and the molecular pathogenesis of...
