Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9), an important member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, can bind with high affinity to FGFR3 in a heparin-dependent approach. In humans, the deletions and mutations resulting in dysfunction of the FGF9 signaling can cause human skeletal dysplasia and cancers. A mutation (S99N) in this protein has been identified to be associated with significantly impaired FGF...
